Twenty-two of the 200 patients (11%) had biopsy-confirmed sarcoidosis, and an additional 12 patients were presumed to have sarcoidosis. The finding of chest radiographic abnormalities interpreted as typical of sarcoidosis was specific (91%; 95% confidence interval, 85.9\u201394.4%) but not sensitive (64%; 95% confidence interval, 43.0\u201380.3%) for biopsy-confirmed sarcoidosis. The combination of elevated serum angiotensin-converting enzyme level and chest radiographic findings typical of sarcoidosis increased the sensitivity to 79%. Biopsy-confirmed sarcoidosis was more common in patients with panuveitis (17 of 84; 20%) compared to patients with other anatomical locations of uveitis (5 of 116, 4%; P\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001).
