Fatigue is a prominent symptom in a large number of medical conditions, malignant and infectious diseases. Fatigue is also a prominent symptom of sarcoidosis. The occurrence of fatigue in sarcoidosis is well known but exact incidence has not been established and varies from 30-70% of patients depending on age, sex and organ involvement by the granulomatous process. The exact definition of fatigue varies broadly. It can be both physical and mental. The patients describe their sensation of fatigue qualitatively different from that fatigue they experienced before they became sick. Fatigue has a major impact on the quality of life in sarcoidosis.
