Abstract

Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) poses often a diagnostic challenge. Different clinical presentations can mimic the syndrome and although there exists no causal treatment, establishing or missing the diagnosis has serious socioeconomic consequences. By early diagnosis and prompt introduction of replacement therapies some of them may be delayed or avoided.
