Abstract
Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by diminished production and secretion of tears by the lacrimal glands and saliva by the salivary glands resulting in keratoconjunctivitis sicca and stomatitis sicca, respectively. The estimated prevalence of primary SS (pSS) in the USA is 1.3 million individuals and the prevalence is 10–20 greater in women [1–4].
