It has already been reported that clinical findings of sarcoidosis differ among locations in the world. In Okinawa prefecture, we could not look for reports of collected sarcoidosis patients. We investigated 23 sarcoidosis cases from 1982 to 1993 in our faculty, who consisted of 8 males and 15 females with a mean age of 47 years. Fourteen (60.9%) of the total cases investigated were symptomatic with the percentage increasing with age. Recently symptomatic cases are on the increase. Lymphnodes biopsy was the most prefered diagnostic tool 13/14 (92.9%). In cases of sarcoidosis who there was liver involvement, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels were higher. These clinical findings were similar to other reports in the mainland. It is necessary that we study regional differences of morbidity and clinical findings in sarcoidosis., 論文}, pages = {141--144}, title = {[原著]サルコイドーシス症例の臨床的検討}, volume = {14}, year = {1994} }
