Help please? how are lung sacoidosis and enfluzema medically treated, what is the prognosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on severity: Most people with lung or pulmonary sarcoid require no treatment. If you have only intermittent problems steroids are the main treatment. If you have severe disease or chronic problems immunosuppressive therapy such as Imuran (azathioprine) is often used. Influenza is best treated by prevention. If you get this it is treated the same with or without sarcoid
