title: [Sarcoidosis - diagnosis and therapy today].
abstract: The etiology of sarcoidosis is still unclear. It belongs to the most frequent lung diseases; but also nearly all other tissues and organs may be established. One third of the diseases runs under the picture of the acute form of the course (Loefgren's syndrome). A histologic ascertainment is to be striven for. The tendency to spontaneous remission is great. This is still additionally supported by the application of cortison derivatives. In the individual case the indication to medicamentous therapy results from the tendency of the course of the disease, from the degree of the affection of organs and the clinico-functional disturbance. In 80 patients with Loefgren's syndrome the author adopts a definite attitude to diagnostics and therapy.
