Overview

Although sarcoidosis was first introduced as a clinical entity 140 years ago, the main cause of the disease remains elusive. The contributory factors are believed to be a combination of: antigens(environment), genetic factors, and the immune system.

Causes

Drug side effect

Environmental factors - because sarcoidosis commonly involves lung, eyes, and skin, several environmental/occupational exposures are believed to be associated with the risk for sarcoidosis:

  1. Rural setting, emmisions from wood-burning stove & firplace, tree pollen[1][2]
  2. Inorganic particles[3]
  3. Pesticides[4]
  4. Mold exposure[5]
  5. Navy personnel[6]
  6. Firefighters and first responders involved in World Trade Center disaster[7][8][9][10]
  7. Metalworking (especially tittanium)[5]
  8. Photocopier exposure[11]
  9. Hairdressers[12]
  10. Healthcare workers[13]


Genetic factors Sarcoidosis is the result of environmental triggers acting upon an immunogenetically susceptible host[18]. The importance of genetic factors in pathophysiology of sarcoidosis is supported by familial clusters of sarcoidosis[19][20]
