Abstract

MONTOYA-CASTILLO, Mariana; HERRERA-URIBE, Sebastián  and  BERLINGHIERI-PEREZ, Juan David. Löfgren syndrome as an acute presentation of sarcoidoisis. Rev.Colomb.Reumatol. [online]. 2018, vol.25, n.2, pp.126-131. ISSN 0121-8123.  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rcreu.2017.04.005.

Sarcoidosis is a chronic granulomatous disease that has been linked to exposure to certain environmental antigens, including previous contact with infectious agents, and a variety of other organic and inorganic particles. There is an acute form of presentation of this disease that courses with stereotypical clinical findings known as Löfgren's syndrome. A case is presented of a female patient with all the characteristic features of this syndrome.

Keywords : Sarcoidosis; Arthritis; Enlarged lymph node; Erythema nodosum.
