Abstract  In 2001, a 41-year-old Japanese woman was referred to our hospital because of severe renal dysfunction and fever of unknown
origin. On admission, her serum creatinine was 8.7 mg/dL, urine protein was 0.3 g/day, and urine β2-microglobulin was 81,007 Î¼g/day. Computed tomography (CT) scans showed bilateral contracted kidneys with a mass projecting
from the lower pole of the [...]

We report on the case of a teenager in whom the onset of CD was dominated by respiratory symptoms. Because of this presentation, we also suspected opportunistic infections such as tuberculosis and other granulomatous pulmonary diseases such as sarcoidosis or hypersensitivity pneumonitis.

Differences in aetiology of GG between children and adults reflect age-specific disease states. Gender differences can be partially explained by gender differences intrinsic to the underlying aetiology. Irrespective of the underlying aetiology, the number and location of granulomas are similar in children and adults. (Source: Journal of Clinical Pathology)

We report the case of a man with a 10-year history of cutaneous and pulmonary sarcoidosis who developed ischaemia of the right upper limb evocative of Takayasu’s arteritis. The patient was successfully treated with oral steroids and methotrexate. DISCUSSION: This case prompts discussion about the relationship between Takayasu’s disease and sarcoidosis. Physicians should be aware [...]
