continue
prednisone
Cannot taper to
<10g or
Steroid toxicity
Consider Mtx ,
HCQ,
Azathioprine
TREATMENT
Chronic illness
Glucocorticoids
tolerated
Dose <10 mg/d
YES –
Continue
therapy
NO-
Seek alternative
agents
Glucocorticoids
not tolerated
Alternative
agents
Methotrexate
HCQ
Azathioprine
Mycophenolate
Minocycline
Glucocorticoids
not effective
Try alternative agents
If effective, taper
off
glucocorticoids
If not effective,
consider:
Multiple agents
Infliximab
Cyclophosphamide
Thalidomide
Non Steroidal agents
• Chloroquine – Cutaneous lesions , hypercalcemia ,bone
lesions
• Minocycline – cutaneous lesions
• Methotrexate
• Azathiprine
• Mycophenolate
• Cyclophosaphamide
• Thalidomide
• Infliximab
INDICATIONS IN PULMOARY SARCOID
Bothersome or worsening symptoms
• cough, shortness of breath, chest pain or discomfort, hemoptysis).
Deteriorating lung function,
• serial testing at three to six month intervals, that demonstrates one or more of the following:
• a fall in total lung capacity (TLC) of 10 percent or more;
• a fall in forced vital capacity (FVC) of 15 percent or more;
• a decrease in diffusing capacity (DLCO) of 20 percent or more;
• or worsened gas exchange at rest (eg, a decrease in oxygen saturation on pulse oximetry of four or more percent)
Severe enough initial disease
• (FEV 1 ) below 70 percent of predicted,
• a diffusing capacity below 60 percent of predicted, and/or
• an oxygen saturation of 90 percent or less, and
• widespread radiographic opacities.
Progressive radiographic changes
• worsening of interstitial opacities,
• development of cavities,
• progression of fibrosis with honeycombing, or
• development of signs of pulmonary hypertension.
ADVERSE PROGNOSTIC FACTORS
• Lupus pernio
• Chronic uveitis
• Age of onset > 40 yrs
• Chronic hypercalcaemia
• Nephrocalcinosis
• Black race
• Nasal mucosal involvement
• Cystic bone lesions
• Neurosarcoidosis
• Myocardial involvement
