Which of the following statements regarding sarcoidosis is NOT true:
(A) In patients with intrathoracic lymphadenopathy secondary to sarcoidosis but normal appearing parenchyma on chest x-ray, the yield of transbronchial biopsy for obtaining non-caseating granulomas is > 85%.
(B) ACE levels are neither sensitive nor specific for sarcoidosis.
(C) In patients with sarcoidosis pulmonary function testing, when abnormal, typically demonstrates reduced lung volumes.
(D) Even if a patient with sarcoidosis is asymptomatic and has normal pulmonary function tests, steroids should be administered for at least 3 months to prevent rapid deterioration.

Except u too guys nobody even bothered Mytime u r right. The ans is D
While many patients with active symptoms, restrictive PFT's, hypercalcemia, or extrapulmonary manifestations of disease demonstrate response to steroid therapy, there is no evidence that steroids are effective in preventing the development of symptoms or other abnormalities.
