Sjogren’s syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disorder in which the moisture-producing glands do not function correctly; SS can also affect internal organs. Sjogren’s syndrome is a relatively common disease, although often under-diagnosed. Sjogren’s syndrome can occur alone or in association with other autoimmune diseases, most commonly ...
Treatment of Sjögren's Syndrome
What you need to know about Sjogren’s Syndrome
Secondary Sjögren syndrome is diagnosed when, in the presence of a connective-tissue disease, symptoms of oral or ocular dryness exist in addition to criterion 3, 4, or 5, above. Application of these criteria has yielded a sensitivity of 97.2% and a specificity of 48.6% for the diagnosis of primary Sjögren syndrome.
There are two forms of Sjögren's syndrome: Primary Sjögren's syndrome develops on its own, not because of any other health condition. Secondary Sjögren's syndrome develops in addition to other autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and psoriatic arthritis.
Sjogren's (SHOW-grins) syndrome is a disorder of your immune system identified by its two most common symptoms — dry eyes and a dry mouth. The condition often accompanies other immune system disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus.
Also known as Sjogren's syndrome, sicca syndrome is a commonly occurring chronic autoimmune disease. Patients diagnosed with it experience a constant feeling of dry mouth and dry eyes.
Prognosis of Sjogren's Syndrome The overall disease course of Sjogren's syndrome can vary from very mild to fairly significant. Individuals with secondary SS seem to have milder disease, as compared to those with primary SS.
In Sjögren's syndrome, this type of arthritis usually affects the fingers, wrists and ankles. The shoulders, hips and knees may also be painful. Some patients with Sjögren's syndrome may have joint paint as a result of fibromyalgia.
Share on Pinterest Sjogren's is caused by white blood cells mistakenly attacking moisture-producing glands. The causes of Sjogren's remain largely unknown. Studies have indicated that a viral or bacterial infection may trigger the disease, but that the underlying cause is primarily genetic and environmental.
Life expectancy and primary Sjogren's syndrome Life expectancy in primary Sjogren's syndrome is comparable to that of the general population, but it can take up to seven years to correctly diagnose Sjogren's. Although life expectancy is not typically affected, patients' quality of life is, and considerably.
Sjögren's syndrome can also affect other body organ systems. These organs include the skin, joints, muscles, blood, lung, heart, kidney, and nerves.
Sicca syndrome: An autoimmune disease, also known as Sjogren syndrome, that classically combines dry eyes, dry mouth, and another disease of connective tissue such as rheumatoid arthritis (most common), lupus, scleroderma or polymyositis.

Dry eyes can occur when you're unable to produce enough water (aqueous fluid). The medical term for this condition is keratoconjunctivitis sicca (ker-uh-toe-kun-junk-tih-VY-tis SIK-uh). Common causes of decreased tear production include: Aging.
We divided SS patients into three stages: stage I is glandular SS, stage II is extraglandular SS, and stage III is extraglandular SS with lymphoid malignancy. The lymphoaggressive nature of the disease appears to lead SS patients from stage I to II and from stage II to III.

Most people who get sjogren's syndrome are older than 40. Nine of 10 are women. Sjogren's syndrome is sometimes linked to rheumatic problems such as rheumatoid arthritis.sjogren's syndrome is an autoimmune disease.
The primary form, often called sicca syndrome, involves both keratoconjunctivitis sicca and xerostomia. The secondary form includes, in addition, the presence of a connective tissue disease, usually rheumatoid arthritis. Sjogren's syndrome is a disease that causes dryness in your mouth and eyes.
Clinical Information. A chronic inflammation of the tear and salivary glands, often accompanied by rheumatoid arthritis and the presence of autoantibodies in the blood. An autoimmune disease that affects the tear glands and salivary glands, and may affect glands in the stomach, pancreas, and intestines. The disease causes dry eyes and mouth, and ...

Type i is characterized by childhood onset and chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (candidiasis, chronic mucocutaneous), while type ii exhibits any combination of adrenal insufficiency (addison's disease), lymphocytic thyroiditis (thyroiditis, autoimmune;), hypoparathyroidism; and gonadal failure. In both types organ-specific antibodies against a variety of endocrine glands have been detected. The type ii syndrome differs from type i in that it is associated with hla-a1 and b8 haplotypes, onset is usually in adulthood, and candidiasis is not present.
