D Larbaoui, and A Lazib

A review is given of the literature concerned with the relatively rare occurence of sarcoidosis in countries with a high prevalence of tuberculosis and informations on clinical status, diagnostic, stage distribution and evaluation of 28 personally observed patients presented. The possible reasons of the only recently more frequent detection of sarcoidosis are discussed. Easily realisable measures as screening (test of tuberculine) for earlier detection are recommended.
