[Increased closing volume in asymptomatic respiratory sarcoidosis].

In 21 patients with asymptomatic respiratory sarcoidosis, 11 with hilar lymph node enlargement (stage I) and 10 with both hilar and lung involvement (stage II), pulmonary function tests revealed that the closing volume was increased as compared with control values obtained from healthy individuals of the same age and smoking habits. The difference was statistically significant but more pronounced in stage II patients than in stage I patients. Other function tests were normal (VC, FEV1, MMF, RV, TLC, DLCOSB).

[Atelectasis without bronchial obstruction].

Five patients with acute pneumonia and transitory atelectasis without bronchial obstruction are presented. The reduced lung volume in these cases, in a case of shock lung, together with a similar phenomenon in pulmonary embolism, is tentatively related to a possible disorder of the surfactant system.
