title: [The clinical picture and course of sarcoidosis under the conditions of the West Ural].
abstract: The specific features of the clinical picture and course of respiratory sarcoidosis (RS) and the efficiency of its treatment were studied in its new cases living in the Perm Region (the West Urals). There was a higher incidence of RS in inhabitants from towns with developed heavy industry, mainly in females. Primary chronic RS was prevalent (89.9%). The therapeutic efficiency was 69.5%. The outcomes of treatment were worse when the disease was untimely detected. Cure rates were higher and slightly lower when corticosteroids as tablets were used in the continuous (87.5%) and intermittent (89.9%) regimens, respectively, in combination with pathogenetic agents and treatments aimed at preventing the development of postsarcoid pneumosclerosis.
