title: [Treatment methods and results in patients with sarcoidosis of the respiratory organs under hospital and outpatient conditions].
abstract: The results of treating 1360 patients with sarcoidosis of the respiratory organs were studied. Sarcoidosis of stages I, II and III was diagnosed in 67.3, 26.2 and 6.5 per cent of the patients, respectively. Extrapulmonary localization of the process was detected in 17 per cent of the patients. The patients were subjected to complex treatment including the use of prednisolone or presocyl as the essential drugs, immunomodulators (delagil, plaquenyl, levamisole and ethimizol), antioxidants (alpha-tocopherol and sodium thiosulfate) and hydrocortizone aerosols. Recovery from the initial stages of sarcoidosis was observed in 86.5 per cent of the patients when prednisolone was used and in 84.5 per cent of the patients given presocyl. The results of the treatment in the in- and out-patients with sarcoidosis were the same.
