Consensus Recommendations for the Management of Neurosarcoidosis: A Delphi Survey of Experts Across the United States.
Neurol Clin Pract
April 2025
Department of Neurology, New York University Langone Health.
Background And Objectives: Neurosarcoidosis poses a diagnostic and management challenge due to its rarity, phenotypic variability, and lack of randomized controlled studies to guide treatment selection. Recommendations for management based on expert opinion are useful in clinical practice and provide a framework for designing prospective studies.
Methods: In this Delphi survey study, specialists with experience in managing patients with neurosarcoidosis were invited to anonymously complete 2 surveys about key elements of evaluation, diagnosis, treatment, monitoring, and long-term management of neurosarcoidosis.
Therapeutic doses of efzofitimod demonstrate efficacy in pulmonary sarcoidosis.

Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Feinberg School of Medicine, Northwestern University, Chicago, IL, USA.
Background: In a phase 1b/2a clinical trial of efzofitimod in patients with corticosteroid-requiring pulmonary sarcoidosis, treatment resulted in dose-dependent improvement in key end-points. We undertook a analysis pooling dose arms that achieved therapeutic concentrations of efzofitimod (Therapeutic group) those that did not (Subtherapeutic group).
Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells incubated with tuberculin-coated beads were exposed to varying concentrations of efzofitimod in an assay to determine concentrations that inhibited granuloma formation.
Outcomes of catheter ablation in cardiac sarcoidosis patients with ventricular tachycardia: a propensity score-matched retrospective analysis.
J Interv Card Electrophysiol
January 2025
Cardiovascular Department, University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, TX, USA.
Background: Ventricular tachycardia (VT) in patients with cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) can lead to sudden cardiac death. The role of ventricular tachycardia ablation (VTA) in CS has been investigated in a few small, single-center, and larger observational studies, but the evidence still needs to be provided. This study aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes of VTA in patients with CS admitted with a diagnosis of VT.

Division of Rheumatology, Department of Internal Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Bursa Uludag University, 16059 Bursa, Türkiye.
The primary aim of our study was to evaluate the demographic, clinical, and laboratory characteristics of sarcoidosis patients with musculoskeletal symptoms; investigate the relationship between arthritis development and various laboratory parameters (such as vitamin D, liver enzymes, and ACE levels); and compare the sarcoidosis-associated arthritis cases with those without. We also explored the factors influencing arthritis development and the role of biopsy in diagnosing sarcoidosis within rheumatology practice. This retrospective study analyzed 147 sarcoidosis patients from 2000 to 2024, categorized by the presence ( = 45) or absence ( = 102) of arthritis.

We report a unique case involving cardiac manifestation of T-cell lymphoma and associated risk management of ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death. A 39-year-old woman presented with a syndrome consistent with fever in a returned traveler, ultimately diagnosed with stage IV peripheral T-cell lymphoma involving the myocardium with ventricular tachycardia. Management of risk of sudden cardiac death was complicated by hematological management with an antibody-drug conjugate chemotherapy regimen and later autologous stem cell transplant.
