    Abstract:
    Children were different from adults in the following findings of intrathoracic sarcoidosis: All of the 69 pediatric patients studied had no complaints and were found by chest x-ray examinations, in contrast with 71% of the 62 adult patients studied. At the ages 10-14 yr there were far more boys than girls. In pediatric patients eye involvements were rare, blood eosinophilia was more frequent, biopsy of conjunctival follicles was more frequently positive, cold serum hemagglutinins were higher at first and decreased later, and the prognosis was far better than in adults.
