Sarcoidosis and tuberculosis (TB) are the two most common causes of granulomatous mediastinal lymphadenopathy. These often exhibit overlapping clinical and radiological characteristics, rendering accurate diagnosis difficult. MicroRNA (miRNA) analysis is increasingly utilised as a potential biomarker for various diseases. Exhaled breath condensate (EBC) is a noninvasive technique for biomarker evaluation in different respiratory conditions. We attempted to identify differentially expressed miRNAs in the EBC of sarcoidosis and mediastinal TB patients.
