Sarcoidosis in pregnancy
Key content:
Sarcoidosis is an uncommon multi-system disorder characterised by the presence of non-caseating granulomas. It has a peak incidence between the ages of 20 –40 years old.
The pathogenesis of sarcoidosis is uncertain; however, it is known to be associated with an exaggerated T helper 1 (TH1) immune response leading to systemic inflammation and granuloma formation.

Understanding the performance variability of clinicians as well as the environmental context that enables good or successful outcomes may bring awareness of how to build adaptive capacities and capabilities in clinicians when working in unpredictable and unanticipated highly pressurised environments.Le...
