Abstract

A 20-year-old man was referred for intermittent fever associated with weight loss and progressive dyspnoea that were unresponsive to empirical antibiotics and anti-tuberculous chemotherapy. A diagnosis of pleuropulmonary sarcoidosis was eventually made histologically via a thoracotomy and the patient improved with corticosteroid therapy.
