Abstract
Life-threatening complications and deaths due to
thrombocytopenia caused by sarcoidosis are rare but
well-described. In literature, mainly case-reports exist. We
analyzed in a retrospective study 78 cases regarding laboratory
data and organ involvement in sarcoidosis. The age of onset was
45 years. 49% of the patients were women. Anaemia was found in
7.7%, leukopenia in 11.5% and thrombocytopenia in 2.6% of the
patients. Furthermore, 87% of the patients had hilar
adenopathy, lung involvement was seen in 37% and splenomegaly
in 27%. Eye, liver and skin affection was diagnosed in 6% of
the cases. In conclusion, several clinical appearances,
different diagnostic standards and geographical factors
complicate the comparison of our data with other studies. In
the case of abnormal data, sarcoidosis should be considered as
differential diagnosis.
