First Report of Two Cases of Löfgren’s Syndrome after SARS-CoV-2 Vaccination-Coincidence or Causality?

Sarcoidosis can present as an acute form or take a chronic course. One of the acute presentations is Löfgren’s syndrome (LS), consisting of the symptom triad of bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy, erythema nodosum, and ankle periarthritis. In addition, there are occasional reports of sarcoid-like react...
