Causes

The cause is still unknown. Because fever occasionally occurred during the course of the disease and more than one person in the family was sick at the same time, it was suspected to be caused by infection, but no evidence was found.

Pathogen. The patient's humoral immunity is normal or enhanced, and IgM, IgA and IgG are all increased. These phenomena suggest that the children's cellular immune function is low.

The pathological feature is chronic granulomatous inflammation without dry necrosis, which is very similar to granulomas caused by fungal diseases such as histoplasmosis, leprosy or tuberculosis. The main organs affected are lymph nodes, lungs, skin, eyes and bones, especially the bones of hands and feet. Many millimeter-sized granulomas can be seen in the affected organs, ranging from a few millimeters to 1-2 cm, like tuberculous granulomas. Epithelial cells and multinucleated giant cells of varying numbers were observed in the center of the lesion.

Lymph node sarcoidosis, also known as sarcoidosis, is a chronic, non-caseous epithelioid granulomatous lesion of unknown cause that can affect multiple organs throughout the body. The symptoms are mostly not obvious, the progression is slow, and remission and recurrence alternate, which can last for many years.

Symptoms vary greatly in severity, depending mainly on the organs affected. The onset is slow, and systemic symptoms such as fever, anorexia, night sweats and fatigue are often absent or only occur occasionally.

1. Swollen lymph nodes. In addition to mediastinal lymphadenopathy, there may be systemic superficial lymphadenopathy without tenderness or adhesion. Enlargement of the liver and spleen and swelling of the parotid gland are more prominent symptoms.

2. Rash. About 1/3 of the patients have special skin changes, including various sarcoma-like granulomas, which are more common on the face. The rash can be waxy yellow millet nodules or larger papules. Some may be mossy, raised or flat, smooth purple-red macules or papules. The diameter can reach more than 1 cm. Erythema nodosum is also common and is an early symptom of the disease. The rash may appear itchy.

3. Eye symptoms. Keratitis, iritis, iridocyclitis, uveitis and glaucoma are more common. Retinitis or retinal hemorrhage may occasionally occur. If the tear glands are occasionally invaded, symptoms such as excessive sweating may occur. Eventually it can lead to uveal fibrosis and cause visual impairment.
