“…28 Among the many implicated infectious agents, scientific data involving mycobacteria has been the most compelling (Box 2). [29][30][31][32][33][34][35] A recently found, nonpigmented, rapidly growing strain, called Mycobacterium immunogenum has received attention as a potential cause of sarcoidosis because of its capacity to grow in degraded metalworking fluid and isolation from cases of hypersensitivity pneumonitis and keratitis. 36 A less persuasive case can be made for Propionibacterium acnes, the only microorganism isolated from sarcoidosis lesions by culture.…”

“…31 Serum samples often contain antibodies to mycobacterial heat-shock protein 70 and Mycobacterium tuberculosis mycolyl transferase antigen 85A. 32 In 22 of 31 cases of bronchoalveolar lavage samples, CD4 and CD8 responded to 1 or more mycobacterial epitopes. The responses seemed to wane as clinical disease improved.…”

“…26,27 The putative antigen(s) is unknown, but may be derived from a persistent infectious organism or an agent associated with an environmental or occupational exposure (Table I). 1,3,[24][25][26][28][29][30] Mycobacteria have long been implicated as etiologic agents. Using sensitive laboratory techniques, investigators have detected mycobacteria in sarcoid lesions but not in nonsarcoid control tissue, 2,31,32 and recent studies support a role for mycobacteria in at least some cases of sarcoidosis.…”
