Testing Hypersensitivity to Metals in Sarcoidosis Patients by Applying the MELISA Test.

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Sarcoidosis
• Interventions: Other: MELISA test

• Registration Number: NCT01809145
• Lead Sponsor: Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical Center

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to apply the MELISA test, that diagnose hypersensitivity to metals, in Sarcoidosis patients with occupational exposure.

Detailed Description

Peripheral blood from sarcoidosis patients with occupational anamnesis that involves exposure to metals will be sent to MELISA Medica in Stockholm Sweden. The MELISA test will examine hypersensitivity to metals that can be related to the granulomatous response of sarcoidosis.
