Sarcoidosis (pronounced SAR-COY-DOE-SIS)
is a devastating, potentially fatal inflammatory disease that can
appear in almost any organ in the body. Although the lungs are
affected in more than 90% of patients, the disease often attacks the
heart, eyes, central nervous system, liver and kidneys. Once thought
rare, sarcoidosis is now known to be common and affects people
worldwide. The cause remains unknown and THERE IS NO CURE.
