The role of nailfold capillaroscopy in interstitial lung diseases - Can it differentiate idiopathic cases from collagen tissue disease associated interstitial lung diseases? [PDF]

, 2015
Introduction: Nailfold capillaroscopy (NFC) is a non-invasive diagnostic test that is mostly used for early diagnosis of collagen tissue diseases (CTDs). We aimed to evaluate whether NFC findings could be a clue for discriminating idiopathic interstitial

Pleuroparenchymal sarcoidosis - A recognised but rare manifestation of disease

Respiratory Medicine Case Reports, 2018
Pleural involvement is rare in sarcoidosis. The presence of a large symptomatic effusion in a patient with sarcoidosis should therefore prompt further investigation for an alternate aetiology.
