Abstract
Sixty‐four consecutive patients with clinically or laboratory‐supported definite multiple sclerosis (MS) were evaluated prospectively for evidence of primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS). This diagnosis was established when a patient had objective keratoconjunctivitis sicca, xerostomia, or both together with positive labial salivary gland biopsy. We found 2 patients (3.1%) with clinical evidence of primary SS. Whether this association is fortuitous or whether there is pathogenetic linkage between MS and primary SS remains to be established.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
