RECURRENT LOFGRENS SYNDROME IN 3 PATIENTS WITH SARCOIDOSIS

Lofgren's syndrome (acute onset of sarcoidosis with erythema nodosum, arthritis, sometimes fever and bilateral hilar lymphoma) is a well kno wn clinical entity. Recurrent Lofgren's syndrome is, however, extremel y rare. We report three cases of recurrent Lofgren's syndrome. The dur ation between the first manifestation of the syndrome and the first re lapse varied between two and eight years. One of the patients had two relapses, two and six years after the initial onset of disease.
