  • Title: Success of prednisone in the treatment of a patient with sarcoidosis and systemic sclerosis: Report of a case.
    Author: Borges da Costa J, Mayer-da-Silva A, Soares de Almeida LM, Marques Gomes M.
    Journal: Dermatol Online J; 2009 Mar 15; 15(3):11. PubMed ID: 19379655.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of a man with sarcoidosis and diffuse systemic sclerosis who showed improvement of both diseases after prednisone therapy and remains asymptomatic after three years of follow-up. The association of these two diseases is rare and it is controversial whether this is a chance association or if there is a relationship between the two autoimmune diseases. Despite the poor prognosis and response to therapy of the patients with diffuse systemic sclerosis, our patient had a marked improvement of the disease with prednisone.
