The data on the epidemiologic situation of sarcoidosis from 24 countries of Europe have been reviewed. The new facts seem to demonstrate that the differences between the frequency of this disease in the north and south are not real. The actual situation is dependent on the general knowledge of this disease and on the extent and intensity of the active detection of its asymptomatic stage. A new prospective cooperative study of the yearly incidence of all forms of sarcoidosis in the total population of at least some European countries would be desirable.
对来自欧洲24个国家的结节病流行病学情况的数据进行了综述。新的事实似乎表明，该病在北方和南方的发病率差异并非实际存在。实际情况取决于对这种疾病的普遍认识，以及对其无症状阶段进行主动检测的范围和强度。开展一项针对至少部分欧洲国家总人口中各种形式结节病年发病率的新的前瞻性合作研究将是可取的。
