Autoimmunerkrankungen

NeuroIntensiv

Auszug

Die Sarkoidose ist eine multisystemische granulomatöse Autoimmunerkrankung unbekannter Ätiologie. Beobachtet wird eine gehäufte Assoziation mit bestimmten HLA-Genen (HLA-B8, HLA-DR17). Aufgrund der Immunreaktionen in den Frühphasen der Erkrankung vermutet man, dass bei einer entsprechenden genetischen Disposition infektiöse und nichtinfektiöse antigene Umgebungsfaktoren in den Zielorganen zu Aktivierung und Expansion von T-Zellen, insbesondere TH1-Zellen führt, die die Immunreaktion initiieren.
