Progressive Systemic Illness With Micronodular Pulmonary Involvement

Kenton R. Holden, MD; Richard M. Heller, MD

Am J Dis Child. 1975;129(1):103-105.

Abstract
A 9-year-old black girl had progressive generalized sarcoidosis. Chest roentgenograms disclosed severe, disseminated micronodular infiltrates, and pulmonary function was severely decreased. Results of a liver biopsy disclosed granulomas consistent with sarcoidosis. She responded dramatically to corticosteroid therapy, both clinically and radiologically.
