Summary
Sarcoidosis is a granulomatous disease for which the molecular and immunologic association
with mycobacteria continues to strengthen. The investigators are interested in conducting a
proof-of-concept investigation of the effects of antibiotics on sarcoidosis resolution. The
investigators hypothesize that pulmonary sarcoidosis will improve faster if patients are
given antimycobacterial therapy, in addition to their standard therapy.
