Autoimmunity in sarcoidosis: the tip of the Iceberg.

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.
