Sarcoidosis in young children - 06/10/17
Abstract |
Sarcoidosis in children less than 6 years of age is a rare occurrence. Affected patients, however, have a characteristic triad of involved organs—skin, joints, and eyes. Cutaneous changes usually take the form of asymptomatic eczematous or infiltrated plaques and papules. Swollen synovium produces articular changes which are much more visible than symptomatic—pain is minimal and range of motion is usually not substantially impaired. Involvement of the eye may produce much more severe and permanent damage, however. Chest and joint x-rays are usually normal.
