What is Boecks sarcoid and its treatment overview
The piece explains Boeck’s sarcoid or sarcoidosis as a chronic disease with uncertain cause and varied symptoms mainly in the lungs. It notes painless nodules, possible skin or lymph node involvement, slow progression, and a watchful waiting approach. Treatments cited include X rays and drugs like streptomycin, mechlorethane, calciferol, and chloroquine.
