Core Tip	Sarcoidosis, a systemic granulomatous disease of undetermined etiology, is characterized by a variable clinical presentation and course. Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes)-specific monoclonal antibodies can detect P. acnes, a causative microorganism, and are useful for diagnosing sarcoidosis. The importance of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron-emission tomography and endobronchial ultrasonography-guided transbronchial needle aspiration to diagnose sarcoidosis is progressively increasing. Cardiac sarcoidosis is the main cause of death in Japan. The 2006 Japanese guidelines for diagnosing cardiac sarcoidosis are useful, particularly for subclinical cardiac sarcoidosis patients. Further studies and international communication and evaluation are needed to improve our management of sarcoidosis.
