Description
Sarcoidosis is a cryptogenic multisystem granulomatous disorder.
We present three patients who presented acutely with erythema
nodosum in our Medical Assessment Unit (MAU) or attended
our clinic, subsequently diagnosed with acute sarcoidosis. In
doing so, we aim to demonstrate that this presentation can easily
be seen on the acute medical take, focussing on the management
of acute sarcoidosis in association with erythema nodosum.
Although patients will often not display florid systemic upset on
presentation, we recommend follow-up after initial
presentation, to ensure good resolution of symptoms.
