Resumen
DIAZ PAUL, Silvia Catalina; VELASQUEZ FRANCO, Carlos Jaime; PINTO PENARANDA, Luis Fernando y MARQUEZ, Javier Darío. Síndrome de Sjögren: revisión clínica con énfasis en las manifestaciones dermatológicas. Rev.Colomb.Reumatol. [online]. 2008, vol.15, n.1, pp.35-48. ISSN 0121-8123.
Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by xeropthalmia and xerostomia due to lymphocytic infiltrates of exocrine glands. SS may occur alone (primary SS) or in association with several autoimmune diseases (secondary SS). Among exocrine glands the lachrymal and salivary are the foreground, owing the severity of the objective consequences and the importance of the subjective manifestations. As a result, cutaneous manifestations are minimized, albeit relatively common. These manifestations range from drynessness to complications for vasculitis. The objective of this review is to outline the possible skin findings of this syndrome.
