A prospective study was performed on patients who came to a university ophthalmology outpatient clinic with the complaint of dry eyes and who were documented to have keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS). Of 45 patients studied 1 had primary amyloidosis, and another 10 had KCS with a previously diagnosed connective tissue disease. Of the remaining 34 patients, 19 had KCS alone without xerostomia, and the remaining 15 had KCS in association with subjective or objective xerostomia. Eight of these 15 patients were subsequently shown to have clinical Sjögren's syndrome--sicca complex, and for the majority, serologic and biopsy findings supported this diagnosis.
对因干眼症前来大学眼科门诊就诊且被诊断为干燥性角结膜炎（KCS）的患者进行了一项前瞻性研究。在研究的45例患者中，1例患有原发性淀粉样变性，另外10例患有KCS且之前已诊断出结缔组织病。在其余34例患者中，19例仅患有KCS且无口干症，其余15例患有KCS并伴有主观或客观的口干症。这15例患者中有8例随后被证明患有临床干燥综合征——干燥综合征，并且大多数患者的血清学和活检结果支持这一诊断。
