JIMENEZ, Luisa Fernanda; PINERES, Denia Beatriz; LEON, Guillermo Alfredo  y  PAEZ, Nelson. Mycobacterium tuberculosis as a potential etiologic agent of sarcoidosis. Acta Med Colomb [online]. 2013, vol.38, n.1, pp.36-39. ISSN 0120-2448.

The etiology of sarcoidosis is still unknown; however, a strong association with tuberculosis has been found, given its clinical and histological similarities. We present a clinical case that shows the coexistence of the two entities and their possible etiologi-cal association. (Acta Med Colomb 2013; 38: 36-39).

Palabras clave : sarcoidosis; mycobacterium tuberculosis; polymerase chain reaction.
