Semicolons

suggestion

"Interestingly, up to 10% of patients with the systemic disease will demonstrate positive imaging findings; thus, not all patients with demonstrable imaging findings of neurosarcoidosis are symptomatic."

Line 87:109 · Use semicolons judiciously.

"cryptococcal meningitis is a rare but life-threatening complication of sarcoidosis, and patients may be misdiagnosed as neurosarcoidosis, which can result in considerable treatment delay and worse outcome; CSF cryptococcal antigen tests are advised in patients with sarcoidosis and meningitis ⁸"

Line 192:216 · Use semicolons judiciously.

Inline EG

suggestion

"Gallium-67 citrate scan is insensitive to central nervous system involvement, positive in only 5% of cases. However, it is helpful in confirming the presence of a systemic disease when neurological manifestations are the presenting complaint. In this setting, the gallium scan is positive in approximately 45% ¹. Care should be taken, however, when interpreting results, as other inflammatory/white-cell-abundant diseases may also be positive, some of which are on the differential for neurosarcoidosis (e.g. tuberculosis and lymphoma)."
