Abstract (en)
Löfgren’s syndrome, an acute form of sarcoidosis, is the combination of bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy (BHL), erythema nodosum (EN) and polyarthralgia or arthritis. Unlike sarcoidosis, Löfgren syndrome has good prognosis and a lower relapse rate. A 58-year-old woman was admitted to our department complaining of arthralgia, rashes on the pretibial region and other nonspecific symptoms such as fever, cough and weakness. Based on clinical symptoms, radiological and histological findings we diagnosed Löfgren’s syndrome. The patient was treated with Prednisolone 0,5 mg/kg/day for six months and acute arthralgia as well as erythema nodosum disappeared.
