Veterans hospitalized with sarcoidosis from 1958 to 1964 were analyzed with respect to their birthplace and the 1930 population census of the various states. In every region, the rate of sarcoidosis was 12 to 15 times higher in Negroes than in whites. Differences among the various geographical areas were insignificant.
