Abstract

Here we describe three cases of sarcoidosis which were diagnosed following COVID infection. Treating clinicians should consider post‐COVID‐19 sarcoidosis in their differential, as it represents a potentially treatable cause of persistent symptomatology.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case series, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
