Sarcoidosis

Sarcoidosis is a condition characterized by the formation of tiny clumps of inflammatory cells, called granulomas, in various organs, most commonly the lungs. In the context of interstitial lung disease, these granulomas can cause inflammation and scarring in the lung tissue, leading to symptoms like shortness of breath, coughing, and fatigue. The exact cause is unknown, but it may involve an abnormal immune response. Some people may recover without treatment, while others may require medications to reduce inflammation and manage symptoms. Regular monitoring by healthcare professionals is important for managing the condition effectively.
