Sjogren’s disease: myths and reality. Part II
https://doi.org/10.47360/1995-4484-2025-443-451
Abstract
Oral and ocular manifestations of Sjögren’s disease (SjD) were first described over 100 years ago, but SjD was recognized as an independent nosology in 1965. However, currently the diagnosis and treatment of this disease still pose significant difficulties. The second part of the article presents the most common and significant myths in clinical and laboratory manifestations, lymphoproliferative complications, and treatment of SjD.
