sarcoid in pregnancy From: Dorothy C Norris (norrisdc@sbu.ac.uk) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have just booked a woman, for midwifery and obstetrician care, who is --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 16 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- weeks pregnant and was treated with steroids for sarcoid 3 years ago. She is still very breathless but otherwise well. Has anyone had experience of caring for women with sarcoid and pregnancy and what was the outcome. Dorothy Norris Midwife, London, England --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reply: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Have had three pregnancies with sarcoid. Each had --------------------------------------------------------------------------- been treated with glucocorticoids in the past and each had acceptable pulmonary function tests prior to pregnancy. All three pregnancies progressed with out complications. Perhaps your patient should have pulmonary function evaluated.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
