The persistence of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) with alteration of cell surface expression in certain tissues may initiate the tissue destruction that leads to the clinical manifestations of Sjogren's Syndrome. Salivary gland and lacrimal gland ductal cells are immunologically attacked due to CMV antigenic expression. The destruction of these ducts leads to xerostomia and keratonconjunctivitis sicca, the hallmarks of Sjogren's Syndrome.
巨细胞病毒（CMV）在某些组织中持续存在并伴有细胞表面表达改变，可能引发组织破坏，进而导致干燥综合征的临床表现。唾液腺和泪腺导管细胞因CMV抗原表达而受到免疫攻击。这些导管的破坏导致口干症和角结膜干燥症，这是干燥综合征的标志性症状。
