Abstract
Sarcoidosis is a relatively uncommon condition in children. Reports from multiracial societies such as the USA indicate that sarcoidosis is more common in Africans than other racial groups. However, few reports of cases of childhood Sarcoidosis have been published from sub-Saharan Africa to shed light on the burden of sarcoidosis and the demographics and clinical presentation of children diagnosed with sarcoidosis.
