The immunopathology of sarcoidosis lies at the heart of its complex nature and clinical manifestations. This chapter delves into the intricate interactions of the immune system that underpin the development and progression of sarcoidosis. Central to this understanding are the formation of granulomas-aggregates of immune cells-and the dysregulation of immune responses that characterize the disease. Exploring the roles of T lymphocytes, macrophages, cytokines, and other immune mediators, we aim to unravel the mechanisms driving granuloma formation and tissue damage in affected organs.
