摘要：

Objective : Since 1957, when the first pediatric case of sarcoidosis was reported, 11 more cases have been traced in the Indian literature. Methods : Nine of them were reported from general wards of hospitals (while the remaining 3 were from pediatric unit of AIIMS, New Delhi). Failure of initial treatment with anti-tuberculosis drugs for some months, necessitated search for an alternative diagnosis. Considerable delay (several months to years) occurred due to several parent-or physician-dependant factors. Result : Affection more in girls (9 to 12), universal fever and constitutional symptoms, loss of weight, scanty lung features, hepatomegaly, often with massive splenomegaly, frequent lymphadenopathy etc. caused initial confution. Conclusion : Treatment with oral steroid or with chloquin and NSAIDS with or without steroid MDI gave equally good results. Long follow-up was done in a few cases only, showing relapses in nearly 66%. One case had a superinfection with acid-fast bacilli.
