title: HLA association with sarcoidosis and diffuse interstitial pulmonary fibrosis.
abstract: HLA typing was performed on 18 patients suffering from sarcoidosis and 30 patients suffering from diffuse interstitial pulmonary fibrosis. One hundred normal healthy people ethnically matched served as the controls. On statistical analysis, the corrected 'p' value of all the HLA antigens for both the patient groups was non significant. The results therefore suggest that there is no particular HLA antigen associated with sarcoidosis and diffuse interstitial pulmonary fibrosis.
