ABSTRACT

Resumen La sarcoidosis es una enfermedad inflamatoria granulomatosa multisistémica crónica de etiología desconocida, que afecta en su mayoría a adultos jóvenes. Se presenta el caso de un paciente masculino de 35 años de edad, que asistió a nuestro hospital por un cuadro clínico de fiebre prolongada asociada a poliartritis y eritema nodoso, que fue diagnosticado con síndrome de Löfgren, entidad poco frecuente en nuestro país. A pesar de la baja prevalencia, la sarcoidosis y su variante, síndrome de Löfgren, se deben tener siempre en cuenta en pacientes con eritema nodoso y/o adenopatías hiliares.


Abstract Sarcoidosis is a chronic multisystemic granulomatous inflammatory disease of unknown etiology which affects mainly young adults, characterized by formation of non-caseous granulomas. Löfgren syndrome refers to an acute presentation of sarcoidosis, characterized by the triad of bilateral hilar lymphadenopathies, erythema nodosum and periarticular swelling. This paper presents the case of a 35-year-old man, who attended our hospital with prolonged fever associated to polyarthritis and erythema nodosum. After medical assessment, laboratory test results, X-ray and CT scans, the patient was diagnosed with Löfgren syndrome, a disease seldom encountered in Colombia. Despite the low prevalence of sarcoidosis and Löfgren syndrome in our country, erythema nodosum and/or hilar adenopathies should increase suspicion of this rare disease, and Löfgren syndrome should be considered in patients with this presentation.
