Boeck's Sarcoid

W. L. MEYER M.D., F.C.C.P.1

1 Sanator, South Dakota

A summary of the literature on Boeck's Sarcoid is presented.

No definite conclusions can be drawn regarding the etiology or bacteriology. The pathology closely resembles that of tuberculosis. Clinically this disease is manifested by involvement of almost any part of the body. The usual involvement is in the glands, lungs, skin and bones. This disease is not incompatible with longevity. A case of Boeck's Sarcoid is presented in which there is probably kidney involvement. This patient is alive and able to carry on moderate work two years after diagnosis, and three years following the original symptoms.
