What is Central Hemangioma Of The Anterior Mandible With Aggressive Clinical Appearance about?

Chikungunya (CHIK) fever is a tropical arbovirosis characterized by sudden fever, headache, rash, and severe arthralgia. The disease has been suggested to act as a trigger for several autoimmune disorders, especially rheumatoid arthritis. This abstract reports 2 cases of Sj€ ogren syndrome (SS) following CHIK infection. Both patients were female and presented with fever, arthralgia, rash, and arthritis during CHIK outbreak in Recife, Brazil. After several months, they developed severe sicca symptoms and 1 of them presented with parotid enlargement. Clinical salivary gland biopsy and serologic examination rendered the diagnosis of SS for both patients. No systemic features of SS were noted. New evidence has pointed to the development of autoimmune inflammatory musculoskeletal diseases following CHIK fever, such as rheumatoid arthritis, spondylitis, and systemic lupus as a sequel of the infection. Nevertheless, SS has rarely been associated with CHIK and this association should be better evaluated.
