ABSTRACT
Serum angiotensin converting enzyme (SACE) was estimated in 25 normal healthy subjects mean (15.62 +/- 6.5 mU/mL/37 degrees C), 26 patients with sarcoidosis (32.06 +/- 9.7) 15 with pulmonary tuberculosis (16.31 +/- 4.6) and 19 with diffuse interstitial lung disease (11.72 +/- 4.555). Significantly (P less than 0.05) elevated SACE values were seen in active sarcoidosis, and serial SACE levels correlated well with the course of the disease.
