High-Yield Explanation
Sarcoidosis is considered with other DPLDs, as over 90% of cases affect the lungs, but the condition can involve almost any organ . Lofgren's syndrome - an acute illness characterised by erythema nodosum, peripheral ahropathy, uveitis, bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy (BHL), lethargy and occasionally fever - is often seen in young women. Alternatively, BHL may be detected in an otherwise asymptomatic individual undergoing a chest X-ray for other purposes. Pulmonary disease may also present in a more insidious manner with cough, exeional breathlessness and radiographic infiltrates; chest auscultation is often surprisingly unremarkable .
