Pulmonary sarcoidosis, a common manifestation of this complex disease, presents unique challenges in treatment due to its varied clinical presentations and potential for progressive lung damage. Management aims to control inflammation, preserve lung function, and improve symptoms, tailored to the severity and extent of pulmonary involvement.
This chapter delves into the therapeutic strategies for pulmonary sarcoidosis, encompassing first-line therapies such as corticosteroids, second-line options including immunosuppressive agents, and emerging treatments like biologics and targeted therapies.
