Sarcoidosis is a systemic illness defined by the presence of granulomas in many organs. The symptoms of sarcoidosis that patients experience are predominantly linked to organ involvement. However, the disease also causes vague systemic symptoms, and it can herald the onset of sarcoidosis. Such a symptom is fever.
The patients observe an increase in the temperature of the body. A low-grade fever is a constant feature of the course of sarcoidosis. However, there can also be high fever (40 °C), but it is less frequent. The symptoms of fever alone are hard to nail down. On the other hand, if exams fail to identify some source of acceptable infection, sarcoidosis could be the source of a high temperature of unknown origin.
