RESUMO
There have been 21 (7.4) fatal cases among 282 patients with diffuse sarcoidosis of the lung and other organs in the past 30 years. The study of the causes of death indicated that 5 patients had progressive sarcoidosis of the lung and intrathoracic lymph nodes with progressive cardiopulmonary failure. Ten other dead persons had generalized generalized sarcoidosis; sarcoidosis of the central nervous system, liver, spleen, and kidney with marked progressive failure of these organs were of the greatest contribution to death. Concomitant diseases, such as pyoinfection, bronchiectasis with pulmonary hemorrhage, essential hypertension, diabetes, and bronchial cancer, are causes of death in 5 more patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis.

The types of adaptative responses were defined, by analysing leukograms in 126 patients with tuberculous pleurisy. Assessing homeostasis by proteinograms, cellular and humoral immunity verified adaptative responses as an integral index of responsiveness. This identified 5 types of responsiveness. Abnormal (hyperactive, hyporeactive, paradoxical, and areactive) responsiveness was found in 78.6% of patients with tuberculous pleurisy. All outcomes with significant residual pleural changes were observed in patients with abnormal responsiveness. Adaptative responses may be used in the clinical setting not only for evaluation of homeostasis, but for prediction of prognosis and for organization of controlled pathogenetic therapy on an individual basis.
