ABSTRACT

Sarcoidosis is a systemic disease of unknown etiology in which infectious agents have been implicated, inorganic powders or organic substances, characterized by the presence of necrotizing granulomatous inflammation with no accumulation of CD4 + lymphocytes and monocytes in the affected tissues. It is presented the case of a patient who went to the General University Hospital Dr. Gustavo Aldereguía Lima of Cienfuegos reporting dry cough, fever, chest tightness and slight weight loss three of three months evolution which did not improve despite receiving treatment in his health area. After several studies it was diagnosed a proliferative pulmonary sarcoidosis, systemic granulomatous disease whose etiology remains anonymous. Biopsy remains the basis for definitive diagnosis. As this is a difficult entity to explain and understand, besides being scarcely diagnosed in our area, it is decided to present that clinical case.
