Abstract
Background: Sarcoidosis is a multifactorial disorder of unfamiliar origin characterized by noncaseating granulomas in different body parts .The purpose of this investigation was to study the association of neuropathy in patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis
Methods: The study included 30 patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis on systemic steroid with hypoxia, 30 patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis on systemic steroid without hypoxia and 30 patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis and not on steroid without hypoxia. Clinical, neurophysiological, laboratory, radiological and histopathological assessment was done for them.
Results: LANSS pain scale was significantly associated with the neuropathic on systemic steroids contributions group when compared to the neuropathic without steroids group. The TCNS's univariate linear regression analysis revealed statistically significant correlations between clinical, electrophysiological, and disability indicators. The mean serum levels of il-2R and ACE were greater in
the sick group than in the control group (193.93 ± 56.4, 202.46 ± 351.78 for patient group and 29.1 ±8.498884, 78.526667 ± 63.995829 in control group respectively).
Conclusion: There was significant positive correlation in severity of neuropathy and degree of hypoxia and there were statistically
significant difference between severity of neuropathy and dose of steroids in both the Initial dosage and 3- month evaluation of response.
