Overview
Sarcoidosis is a worldwide disease but there are some parts of the world and some ethnic groups which sarcoidosis is more common. Sarcoidosis is not common before adulthood. It is rarely diagnosed in patients younger than 10 years. In children the clinical picture is different from adult, mostly involving eyes, skin and joints. It is believed to be more common in women compared to men.
Epidemiology
Sarcoidosis involves all ethnic groups over the world, but the incidence varies in different regions and/or ethnic groups[1]. The annual incidence is highest in northern Europe(5 to 40 cases per 100,000)[2]. The annual incidence in black americans compared to white americans is 3:1[3].
