Abstract

Sarcoidosis is a mysterious condition with an etiology that has to date eluded explanation. Innumerable clinical and serological organ- and non-organ-specific autoimmune associations have been reported. Many of the associated conditions are life-threatening but easily manageable if diagnosed early. Due to the long latency that precedes the clinical onset of autoimmune diseases, it is prudent to ensure a long follow-up and a broad viewing perspective while maintaining a high index of suspicion when viewing the autoimmunity iceberg in sarcoidosis.<br /> (© 2022.
