title: Sarcoidosis and acquired type II-b hyperlipoproteinaemia.
abstract: In four of eleven patients with histologically-proven sarcoidosis (stage II or III), type II-b hyperlipoproteinaemia (HLP) with increased levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides and low density lipoprotein, and a decreased level of high density lipoprotein was observed. These results suggest that type II-b HLP may be associated with sarcoidosis with systemic sarcoid infiltration (stage II or III).
