To present cases of coexisting sarcoidosis and Sjogren's syndrome (SS).
We analyzed the clinical data of our 464 patients with SS with a clinical picture suggesting coexisting SS and sarcoidosis. We followed them for several years.
We found 5 patients with coexisting SS and sarcoidosis. In 3 patients, pure sarcoidosis could mimic SS.
In our experience, the frequency of sarcoidosis in SS is much higher than in the general population. One of the European criteria is that before the diagnosis of SS is made, the presence of sarcoidosis must be excluded. From our experience of 5 cases we determined that the 2 diseases can coexist, which indicates the value of these criteria.
介绍结节病与干燥综合征(SS)并存的病例。
我们分析了464例临床症状提示结节病与SS并存的SS患者的临床资料。对他们进行了数年的随访。
我们发现5例结节病与SS并存的患者。在3例患者中,单纯结节病可能会模仿SS。
根据我们的经验,SS中结节病的发生率远高于普通人群。欧洲标准之一是在诊断SS之前,必须排除结节病的存在。从我们5例病例的经验来看,我们确定这两种疾病可以并存,这表明了这些标准的价值。
