Sarcoidosis, a report from Guilan (an Iranian Northen province) (2001-09).
CONCLUSION: It seems many clinical and radiological aspects of sarcoidosis in our patients are similar to other series. However, presentation with Lofgren's syndrome is a common feature and skin (n=48, 12.3%) and eye (n=19, 4.8%) involvement are less frequent. There is significant difference between west and east of Guilan in relation to referred patients (12.9 % vs 78.5% respectively).Of course this may be due to referral issues of patients and medical teamwork connections
