Recurrent sarcoid granulomas in a transplanted lung derive from recipient immune cells
... [15]. Studies of the Kveim test show that epithelioid cell granulomas can develop in 10–12 days [16]. Accordingly, recurrent sarcoidosis in the lung allograft has been reported as early as two weeks after transplantation [13]. In the three patients within this study, recurrence was observed at 2, 5 ...
