title: [Work capacity of patients with sarcoidosis of the respiratory organs].
abstract: The results of examination of 92 patients with sarcoidosis of the respiratory organs by a medical and labor examination commission were analyzed and it was shown that the majority of the patients (85.9 per cent) had no signs of permanent loss of the working ability. However, shortcomings in the work on diagnosing the disease resulted in late hormonal therapy of the patients and brought difficulties in drawing the conclusion on their working ability since the positive time course of pulmonary lesions was not sufficient because of short-term hormonal therapy. Permanent loss of the working ability resulted from progressing and generalized sarcoidosis, pronounced functional impairment of the cardiopulmonary system and unfavourable labor conditions.
