Gastrointestinal and Hepatobiliary Features in Sjögren’s Syndrome

  • Chapter

Abstract

Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) is a chronic, inflammatory, systemic, autoimmune disease, characterized by dryness of the eyes, mouth, and other mucous membranes, and frequently associated with rheumatic disease (Machin et al. 1984; Simila et al. 1978). It is the second most frequent collagen disorder, surpassed in prevalence only by rheumatoid arthritis (Shearn 1977). The diagnosis is, however, frequently overlooked. Whaley, et al. (1973) observed that SS had been unsuspected before referral in all 94 patients in whom it coexisted with rheumatoid arthritis.

Supported in part by NIH (Grant No. NIAAA 7R01AA05814-01) and from Veterans Administration (Research Service, Audie Murphy Memorial Veterans’ Hospital).
