[Immunological phenomenons connected with etiology and pathogenesis of sarcoidosis].
Despite of numerous studies on etiology and pathogenesis of sarcoidosis, it has been impossible to explain the reason of disease initiation. The possible beginning of sarcoid process is broken balance of cytokines secreted by T-lymphocytes (Th1 and Th2), which generates various complicated immunological phenomenons. This broken balance of cytokines may be caused by particular antigen in the shape of microorganism or other factor, which disturbs organism's homeostasa.
