ABSTRACT
Serum angiotensin converting enzyme (SACE) was estimated in 18 cases of sarcoidosis, 15 patients suffering from pulmonary tuberculosis and in 12 normal healthy individuals. SACE was elevated in the patients suffering from sarcoidosis. (33.2 +/- 12.9). SACE values for the pulmonary tuberculosis patients were 18.8 +/- 7.9 and those for the normal healthy individuals were 17.1 +/- 4.7. Compared to pulmonary tuberculosis and normal healthy individuals, the SACE levels were significantly elevated (P < 0.01) in sarcoidosis patients.
