What is Sjögren‘s syndrome about?

Sjögren‘s syndrome (SS) is chronic, autoimmune and inflammatory disease with predominant affection of exocrine glands, but also extragrandular manifestations are common occurrence. There are two forms of SS primary and secondary. Secondary SS is connected to presence of other autoimmune disease (rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus etc.) For this disease is typical production of specific auto antibodies anti-SS-A (anti-Ro) and anti-SS-B (anti-La) and lymphocytary infiltration of exocrine glands. The treatment of SS is mainly symptomatic in the patients without organ manifestation. If the organ manifestation is present, the immunosuppressive therapy is prescribed. The patients with SS have higher risk of occurrence of non-Hodgkin lymphomas.
