This is a comparison of two large series of histologically-confirmed sarcoidosis-797 patients kept under supervision in Hamburg and 818 patients in London. There are a few differences but many striking similarities. The factual data in these two series should provide guidelines for present and future investigators recognising sarcoidosis as it emerges from obscurity in Africa, India and Asia.
这是对两组大量经组织学确诊的结节病患者的比较——797名在汉堡接受监测的患者和818名在伦敦的患者。两者存在一些差异，但也有许多显著的相似之处。这两组患者的实际数据应为当前及未来的研究人员提供指导方针，以便他们在结节病从非洲、印度和亚洲的隐匿状态中显现出来时能够识别该疾病。
