“…These findings as well as a previous study reporting a high proportion of sarcoidosis patients with disease onset within the first year after delivery [30] suggest that pregnancy-related factors might be involved in sarcoidosis development. If factors operating during pregnancy or the postpartum period somehow trigger clinical symptoms in otherwise asymptomatic sarcoidosis patients, this might provide a theoretical explanation for our findings.…”

Because of the higher incidence in women, hormone-related factors, such as pregnancy 41 or menopausal status, 42 will be assessed. Most studies of sarcoidosis in the United States have focused on patients from limited geographic regions.…”
