Prevalence of Sjogren's syndrome in patients with dry mouth in the region of Central Hungary

Anna Julia Dezsi et al.

Summary: One-third of the Hungarian population suffers from xerostomia. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of Sjogren's syndrome (SS) in Hungary. Results showed that approximately 1/5th-1/6th of patients with sicca symptoms have SS, with the majority being primary SS. Additionally, the number of new diagnoses and doctor-patient encounters for SS in Hungary has significantly decreased over the past decade.

Sjogren's syndrome: a systemic autoimmune disease

Simone Negrini et al.

Summary: Sjogren's syndrome is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by dryness in the eyes and mouth, with systemic manifestations and unclear pathogenesis. Diagnosis is based on clinical symptoms and specific tests, while treatment ranges from local to systemic medications. New classification criteria and disease activity scores have been developed for research and clinical practice.

Low prevalence of anti-SSA (anti-Ro) and anti-SSB (anti-La) autoantibodies in female patients with rheumatoid arthritis with a wish to conceive

Hieronymus T. W. Smeele et al.

Summary: This study found a low prevalence of anti-SSA and anti-SSB autoantibodies in RA patients wishing to conceive or pregnant. Especially for RF-negative patients, the current recommendation to test for anti-SSA and anti-SSB may need to be reconsidered.

CD8+ T Lymphocytes: Crucial Players in Sjogren's Syndrome

Huimin Zhou et al.

Summary: Primary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by damage to multiple organs and glands, with dry eyes, dry mouth, and enlarged salivary glands being common clinical manifestations. CD8(+) T lymphocytes have been found to play a significant role in acinar injury in the exocrine glands, contributing to the pathophysiology of the disease. Targeting CD8(+) T cells in treatment strategies can offer promising new approaches for managing pSS.

Rituximab Therapy for Primary Sjogren's Syndrome

Yi Han Chen et al.

Summary: Primary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by dry eyes and dry mouth. B-cell hyperactivity is a key feature of the disease, leading to efforts to optimize B-cell targeted therapy. Monoclonal antibodies like rituximab (RTX) may be initiated in patients with severe, refractory systemic disease, although clinical trial data on RTX efficacy remains controversial.
