Mikulicz's disease has recently been included within primary Sjogren's syndrome. It is a unique condition involving enlargement of the lacrimal and salivary glands, characterized by few autoimmune reactions. It is responsive to glucocorticoid treatment. Analysis of IgG fractions was performed in patients with Mikulicz's disease in order to determine the differences between Mikulicz's disease and Sjogren's syndrome. The study showed that serum IgG4 concentrations are elevated in patients with Mikulicz's disease, but not in those with Sjogren's syndrome.
