Sjogren Syndrome A Case Report

The chronic, systemic autoimmune disease known as Sjogren syndrome is typified by lymphocytic infiltration of the exocrine glands. The lacrimal and salivary glands are intricately involved, and the result is Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca and xerostomia. It can manifest in two ways primary or secondary, linked to another autoimmune condition, most frequently rheumatoid arthritis. There have been many criteria put forth for the diagnosis of Sjogren syndrome. The international classification criteria for Sjogrens syndrome that were developed by American and European groups are the most widely accepted. Ocular symptoms, oral symptoms, ocular signs, histopathology, involvement of the salivary glands, and x ray are some of these criteria. Four of the six items must be met for the classification to be complete one of the requirements must be a positive minor salivary gland biopsy or positive antibody test. Prompt diagnosis is essential to stop additional problems. This paper aims to highlight oral changes, advanced diagnosis, and Sjogrens syndrome management. Dr. Thenmozhi. P | Mr. Vignesh.
