Sarcoidosis and multiple sclerosis: systemic toxicity associated with the use of interferon-beta therapy
Sarcoidosis is a multi-systemic inflammatory disease of unknown origin characterized by the presence of noncaseating epitheloid cell granulomas in multiple organs. Diagnosis is made on the basis of a compatible clinical-radiological scenario and the histological demonstration of the typical granulom...
