Sjogrens Syndrome Presenting as a Case of Cerebro Vasular Accident with Thrombocytopenia – A Case Report

Abstract

Auto immune disorders have a wide range of presentations. Often, they are missed due to difference in their spectrum of presentations. Hence any slight suspicion of autoimmunity should be thoroughly ruled out. Multiple system involvement like joints, renal, vascular events simultaneously presenting should always rise a suspicion of autoimmunity and prompt investigations should be paged that could be effectively contributing to decrease mortality and morbidity of the patient. Thorough history, if possible, pedigree charts should be evaluated for any clues of autoimmunity. All first-degree relatives of the patient should also be evaluated for any possibility of autoimmune diseases.
