Serial measurements of vital capacity were obtained in 11 patients with impaired pulmonary function due to sarcoidosis during 12 courses of corticosteroid treatment. Vital capacity improved promptly and approached a maximum value in about three weeks. A three week trial is probably sufficient to show whether or not corticosteroids are effective in a patient with sarcoidosis.
在11例因结节病导致肺功能受损的患者接受12个疗程的皮质类固醇治疗期间,对肺活量进行了连续测量。肺活量迅速改善,并在大约三周内接近最大值。为期三周的试验可能足以表明皮质类固醇对结节病患者是否有效。
