Sarcoidosis is a multisystem granulomatous disorder of unknown aetiology, most commonly affecting young adults. The course and the prognosis may correlate with the mode of onset. An acute onset with erythema nodosum heralds a self-limiting course and spontaneous resolution, whereas an insidious onset may be followed by relentless, progressive fibrosis.

[HIV and dentistry. Part 7. The HIV positive dentist or student].
What should a dentist or dental student do when he happens to be HIV-seropositive? Should he or she disclose the disease to the patients or, in case of a student, to the university? Does he has to give up his practice or perhaps not even open one? Apparently, the legal regulations differ in various parts of the world. In the Netherlands dentists are advised to take their own responsibility in this matter.

[HIV and dentistry. Part 1: Disclosure of HIV-seropositivity to the dentist].
For a number of reasons it is recommended to disclose one's HIV-seropositivity to the dentist. This information will enable the dentist to take extra precautions during treatment. Furthermore, extra measures may be taken with regard to prevention or early treatment of dental and oral diseases, e.g. gingivitis, candidiasis. The dentist and the other members of the dental team are supposed to obey strict confidentiality.
