“…We were able to identify nine previously published cases of CNS disease occurring in conjunction with Sjogren syndrome [5,8,10,11,[13][14][15]171. Recently we have encountered eight patients with primary Sjogren syndrome, each of whom had a concurrent CNS disease that was not attributable to other etiological factors [3].…”

A 37-year-old woman with primary Sjögren syndrome developed mixed cryoglobulinemia and systemic vasculitis. Subarachnoid hemorrhage occurred as a result of necrotizing anterior spinal arteritis. Although rarely seen in mixed cryoglobulinemia, central nervous system complications have recently been documented in Sjögren syndrome. The patient's serum contained antibodies to the Ro(SSA) cytoplasmic antigen, and these antibodies were concentrated in the cryoglobulin fraction. Anti-Ro(SSA) antibodies are associated with the occurrence of vasculitis in patients with Sjögren syndrome, which suggests that the spinal arteritis and subarachnoid hemorrhage in this patient may have been directly related to the underlying connective tissue disorder.

“…Sj6gren's syndrome has been reported with other connective tissue diseases (Bloch & Bunim 1963): SLE (Heaton, 1959;Horan, 1969;Bowers, 1969;Steinberg & Talal, 1971); Scleroderma (Escande & Degos, 1968;Kirkham, 1969); polyarteritis nodosa (Stanworth, 1951;Ramage & Kinnear, 1956;Hardsky et al 1968). Raynaud's phenomenon may occur in these patients Guilaine et al, t970).…”

“…The characteristics of Sjögren's syndrome may also be observed in the other autoimmune rheumatic diseases (including rheumatic arthritis and SLE). The association of SLE and SS was mentioned for the first time in 1959 and it was even stated that SS was the benign form of SLE (1). In time, this view changed and the view that these two diseases were two different conditions, though they had mutual characteristics became prominent (2).…”

Sjögren’s syndrome associated with systemic lupus erythematosus

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Systemic lupus erythematosus and Sjögren's syndrome are chronic auto-inflammatory disorders which can lead to serious organ damage. Although systemic lupus erythematosus and Sjögren's syndrome were previously considered two forms of the same disease because of presence of clinical coexistence of these two conditions, the view that they are two different conditions with mutual characteristics has become prominent in recent years. In this paper, we reported a 16 year-old girl who was followed up with a diagnosis of Sjögren's syndrome for six years and then was observed to have overlap of systemic lupus erythematosus. In the baseline, she did not have any clinical or serological evidence for systemic lupus erythematosus. After six year, massive proteinuria and serological findings developed and systemic lupus erythematosus nephritis was diagnosed by kidney biopsy. Currently, systemic lupus erythematosus and Sjögren's syndrome cannot be differentiated definetely. We need more valuable diagnostic and classification criteria to differentiate these two important conditions. (Turk Pediatri Ars 2016; 51: 166-8)
