Sarcoidosis: Know Your Risk
VIA: UrbanHousecallMagazine.com
Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease affecting multiple organ systems in the body. Often times undiagnosed or misdiagnosed, the cause of this potentially life-threatening disease is still unknown. Once regarded as rare, it is now believed that there are many people living with sarcoidosis without ever knowing it. It is a disease in which the African American community is at highest risk with an estimated 40 in 100,000 Blacks affected in this country.
