“…On the other hand, such low concentrations of PMA have a priming effect on the 02 -generation induced by WGA, immune complex or fMLP in guinea pig phagocytes [13] and human neutrophils [20]. Our results also indicate that a low concentration of PMA primed the generation of 02 -induced by ATP on guinea pig peritoneal macrophages with no effect on [Ca* +]r increase, although further studies concerning the priming effect of PMA are required.…”

“…It has previously been thought that a low concentration of PMA (under 10m9 M) did not induce 02-generation and the stable translocation of cytosolic protein kinase C (PKC) to the membrane [17,18,19], although a high concentration of PM.4 could elicit these reactions [18,20]. On the other hand, such low concentrations of PMA have a priming effect on the 02 -generation induced by WGA, immune complex or fMLP in guinea pig phagocytes [13] and human neutrophils [20].…”

“…There were several reports about candida, mucormycosis, cryptococcus and herpes zoster infection complicated with sarcoidosis. [22][23][24][25] In this case, because the CD4KD8 rate of BALF is high, it was thought that immunological imbalance was present. Candida infection may be induced from this imbalance and pacemaker implantation.…”

An autopsy case of ancient sarcoidosis with severe fibrosis in the liver and heart was reported. The patient was a 61-year-old female when she died, 12 years after the onset of sarcoidosis. Cervical lymph node biopsy at 49 years demonstrated non-necrotizing sarcoid granuloma, and laboratory data were compatible with sarcoidosis. Liver and heart failure were observed clinically, and because of heart failure a pacemaker was implanted. She died of septic shock at 61 years. At autopsy, the liver demonstrated cirrhotic severe fibrosis, cholestasis, and acute cholangitis without mechanical bile duct obstruction. In the heart, severe fibrosis was observed, and infectious foci of candida infection were observed on the cardiac valves. Although both liver and heart did not show typical sarcoid granuloma, fibrosis was thought to be due to sarcoidosis because no other causes of liver and heart fibrosis were identified clinically or pathologically. There were systemic foci of candida infection, and she died of sepsis due to candida infection. It was speculated that immunological impairment induced candida infection. This case seems to be a rare and important case of ancient sarcoidosis.

“…Herpes zoster is infrequently associated with sarcoidosis, occurs in the inactive stage of the disease, and typically has a benign course. 36 Lymphomatoid granulomatosis is an angiocentric and angiodestructive infiltrating lesion composed of atypical lymphocytes, plasma cells, and histiocytes. Many organs can be involved, including the lungs, skin, liver, kidneys, and central and peripheral nervous systems.…”

A 57-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital because of fever, sweats, neuropathy, and multiple pulmonary nodules.The patient had been well until nine months earlier, when weakness developed in the left ankle. During the following month, she had fevers, night sweats, and fatigue. Electrophysiologic testing performed elsewhere revealed a posterior tibial neuropathy of mixed demyelinative type. The fevers and night sweats waxed and waned, and the fatigue persisted. Three months before admission, the fevers and night sweats increased, with a rise in the temperature to 38.3°C and rigors. She lost 4.5 kg in weight.Five weeks before admission, the patient entered another hospital, where laboratory examinations were performed. The values for creatinine, uric acid, electrolytes, and bilirubin were normal. The results of other laboratory tests are shown in Tables 1, 2, and 3. Radiographs of the chest showed multiple pulmonary nodules. A computed tomographic (CT) scan of the chest (Fig. 1), obtained without the administration of contrast material, showed multiple nodules, 4 to 20 mm in diameter, predominantly at the periphery of the lung bases but also in the left upper and right middle lobes. Many of the lesions were ill defined, and several contained air bronchograms. A CT scan of the abdomen revealed multiple small hepatic lesions. Microscopical examination of a bone marrow-biopsy specimen showed no abnormalities. She was referred to this hospital.The patient was a housewife. She had a 30-year history of cigarette smoking but had stopped smoking 6 years earlier. She had recently noted a rash on her buttock that was neither pruritic nor painful. There was no history of exposure to industrial dusts, risk factors for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, cough, dyspnea, hemoptysis, epistaxis, coryza, or sinus infections.On examination, the pulse was 80, the respirations were 18, and the blood pressure was 100/60 mm Hg. A rash on the right buttock was consistent with herpes zoster. A white exudate was present on the right tonsil, and a few crackles were heard at both *Five weeks before admission, leukopenia and lymphopenia were reported.
