Listing 14.10

Sjögren's syndrome

This listing covers Sjögren's syndrome, an immune disorder that damages moisture-producing glands (causing dry eyes and dry mouth) and can affect many other organs.

Read the full plain-language explanation

Diagnosis usually follows American College of Rheumatology classification criteria. SSA looks for involvement of two or more organs or body systems with constant symptoms, or repeated flare-ups that seriously limit functioning. Only one path (A or B) needs to be met.
