Rate of improvement of pulmonary function in sarcoidosis during treatment with corticosteroids.

D S Goldstein, M H Williams.   

Abstract

Serial measurements of vital capacity were obtained in 11 patients with impaired pulmonary function due to sarcoidosis during 12 courses of corticosteroid treatment. Vital capacity improved promptly and approached a maximum value in about three weeks. A three week trial is probably sufficient to show whether or not corticosteroids are effective in a patient with sarcoidosis.
