Childhood sarcoidosis. Progressive systemic illness with micronodular pulmonary involvement
K. R. Holden and R. M. Heller
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.
