In Episode 23, Dr. Kanwar explains how Sarcoidosis in the lungs can lead to a wide range of symptoms — from fatigue, mild fever, and restlessness after climbing stairs, to breathlessness and oxygen drop in more advanced stages.

🔹 The inflammation causes enlarged lymph nodes and stiffness in lung tissue, making it difficult for the lungs to expand properly.
🔹 Patients may notice tiredness, reduced stamina, and shortness of breath, especially during exertion.
🔹 In severe or chronic cases, when lung function deteriorates significantly, it may progress to a stage requiring lung transplant evaluation.

💠 Early diagnosis, timely treatment, and regular follow-ups under medical supervision play a key role in controlling the disease and preventing complications.

🎥 Sarcoidosis may silently tire your lungs — listen to your breath before it whispers too late.

⚕️ Episode 22 | Sarcoidosis Beyond the Lungs: Multi-Organ Involvement & Biopsy Confirmation

“Why Biopsy Is Crucial in Confirming Sarcoidosis Diagnosis”

In Episode 22, Dr. Kanwar explains how Sarcoidosis doesn’t only affect the lungs and lymph nodes, but can also involve multiple organs such as the eyes, brain, heart, liver, abdomen, and even the skin.

🔹 When such multi-organ symptoms appear, biopsy becomes essential — it helps differentiate whether the inflammation is due to Sarcoidosis, Tuberculosis, or another inflammatory condition.
🔹 Through biopsy and histopathological analysis, doctors can confirm the granulomatous nature of the disease, which is the hallmark of Sarcoidosis.
🔹 Early and accurate diagnosis allows for timely management, preventing organ damage and improving long-term outcomes.

🎥 Sarcoidosis can mimic other diseases — only biopsy tells the real story.

In this Episode 21, Dr. Kanwar explains the crucial role of CT Scan in diagnosing Sarcoidosis — especially by evaluating the mediastinal (middle sternal) lymph nodes located between both lungs.

🔹 When these lymph nodes are enlarged, it becomes a strong indicator of Sarcoidosis.
🔹 In fact, over 90% of Sarcoidosis cases show enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes — making it one of the most important radiological signs for confirmation.
🔹 Without this finding, it’s difficult to establish a definitive diagnosis.

🩺 CT scan findings, when combined with clinical symptoms and laboratory investigations, help in differentiating Sarcoidosis from other lung diseases such as tuberculosis or lymphoma.

🎥 Accurate imaging is the foundation of precise diagnosis — because every detail matters when it comes to lung health.

In this Episode 20, Dr. Kanwar explores one of the most intriguing questions in Pulmonology — what actually causes Sarcoidosis?

While the exact cause remains unknown, experts believe it’s a reaction of the immune system to something it perceives as harmful —
🔹 possibly certain bacteria or viruses,
🔹 environmental triggers like dust, mold, or pollution particles,
🔹 or even genetic susceptibility.

Over time, this immune overreaction leads to chronic inflammation and formation of granulomas (tiny clusters of immune cells) in the lungs and other organs.

Dr. Kanwar explains that understanding these triggers helps in early diagnosis and personalized management, preventing long-term complications.

🎥 Sarcoidosis isn’t contagious — but it teaches us how delicate and powerful our immune system truly is.

In Episode 19 of the Tuberculosis Series,
Dr. Kanwar explains Sarcoidosis — a fascinating and often confusing condition that mimics TB in its presentation, but is not an infection.

🔹 Both diseases can cause cough, breathlessness, lymph node swelling, and lung shadows on X-ray.
🔹 However, Sarcoidosis is an immune-mediated disease, not caused by bacteria.
🔹 Correct diagnosis is crucial — as treating Sarcoidosis as TB can delay proper recovery.

Dr. Kanwar highlights how experienced pulmonologists distinguish between these conditions using radiological findings, biopsy, and immune tests.

🎥 A must-watch for anyone interested in lung medicine, immune disorders, and TB-related research.

In Episode 18, Dr. Kanwar discusses the management of Multi-Drug Resistant Tuberculosis (MDR-TB) — a condition that develops when TB bacteria stop responding to the standard medicines.

🔹 In MDR-TB cases, doctors add stronger and additional drugs, often tailored to each patient’s condition.
🔹 The treatment duration extends up to 1–1.5 years, requiring strict monitoring.
🔹 Drug doses are customized and frequently adjusted under expert supervision.
🔹 Close observation of side effects and overall health is essential to ensure recovery.

💊 MDR-TB treatment is complex but possible with the right medical guidance, patience, and adherence.

In Episode 17, Dr. Kanwar explains one of the most crucial aspects of TB treatment — adherence to medication.

When patients skip doses or stop the medicine midway, TB bacteria can develop resistance, leading to Multi-Drug Resistant Tuberculosis (MDR-TB) — a much more difficult and dangerous condition to treat.

🔹 Irregular medicine intake = reduced drug effectiveness
🔹 Leads to drug-resistant TB, requiring longer, more toxic, and costlier treatment
🔹 Strictly follow your doctor’s prescribed course
🔹 Never self-modify or stop medicines on your own

✅ Timely and complete treatment ensures full recovery and prevents resistant TB from developing.

In Episode 16, Dr. Kanwar highlights a rare but serious side effect of TB medicines – Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS), a life-threatening skin reaction.

🔹 Earlier TB patients often faced severe drug-induced skin allergies.
🔹 Symptoms may start with rashes, redness, or blistering of the skin & mucous membranes.
🔹 It requires immediate medical attention and often stopping all anti-TB drugs temporarily.
🔹 With modern protocols and careful monitoring, such cases are now much better managed.

✅ Awareness is key – patients should never ignore any unusual skin changes during TB treatment. Early recognition saves lives.

🩺 Case Study: Suspected Pancoast Tumor — A Journey from Fear to Relief

By Dr. M. S. Kanwar
Senior Consultant – Pulmonology, Critical Care & Lung Transplantation
Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals, New Delhi

📍 Patient Background:

A patient from South Sudan was referred with a clinical suspicion of Pancoast tumor — a serious condition involving a mass at the apex of the lung, often associated with severe symptoms.

The patient gave full consent for medical recording and educational sharing.

🩺 Step 1 — Clinical Evaluation:

Detailed clinical assessment done by Dr. M. S. Kanwar.

No evident signs of malignancy or invasive mass on physical examination.

🩺 Step 2 — Radiological Investigation:

Chest X-ray & High-Resolution CT Scan (HRCT) performed.

Reports showed no definitive evidence of Pancoast tumor, infection, or lung fibrosis.

Radiology confirmed no abnormal masses or lesions.

🩺 Step 3 — Diagnostic Bronchoscopy:

Bronchoscopy conducted under local anesthesia.

Careful navigation through bronchial airways to locate any suspect segments.

Findings: Airway completely normal — no obstruction, tumor, or abnormal secretions.

✅ Final Conclusion:

After a thorough multi-step evaluation involving clinical check-up, radiological imaging, and bronchoscopy, Dr. Kanwar confirmed that the patient has NO lung disease.

🔹 No Pancoast tumor
🔹 No infection or fibrosis
🔹 No treatment required
🔹 Patient advised to return home healthy and reassured

“When fear meets facts, the truth sets you free. A thorough evaluation can bring not just clarity but peace of mind.”
– Dr. M. S. Kanwar
