Unfortunately there is not any research currently being done on sarcodosis in Canada. There is clinical work being done in the United States. Part of the problem is we do not have a clear indication of the prevalence of sarcoidosis, often the disease is mis-diagnosed or not discovered. The symptoms, of sarcodosis, are often attributed to a myriad of other diseases therefore investigation stops and the disease usually spontaneously disappears. The link between sarcoidosis and work has not been established.
