[Efficiency of clinical examination of patients with sarcoidosis under the conditions of general health care network].

The efficiency of clinical examination of patients with sarcoidosis was compared in the general health care network and tuberculosis facilities. The follow-up of patients with respiratory sarcoidosis in the tuberculosis facility in 1996-2002 was found to be better: centralized monitoring of the prevalence and incidence of sarcoidosis was exercised, the time of diagnostic search and the number of diagnostic errors substantially reduced, control examinations were performed to early detect a relapse and to reduce disability rates among patients with sarcoidosis. It is suggested that it is expedient to resume a follow-up of patients with sarcoidosis in a special room of a polyclinic or a tuberculosis dispensary.
