A case of pulmonary sarcoidosis, not tuberculosis.
The case of sarcoidosis of the lungs is described in a 50 years old female who presented with symptoms similar to pulmonary tuberculosis. As she showed no improvement on anti-tubercular therapy, sarcoidosis was suspected and confirmed by endobronchial biopsy and she responded well to treatment.
