Research Notes on Secondary Sjogren's Syndrome


Secondary Sjogren's syndrome occurs when a patient has another autoimmune condition prior to getting Sjogren's syndrome. These conditions include rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and scleroderma. Because they have two conditions, patients with secondary Sjogren's syndrome often have more health problems than those with primary Sjogren's syndrome.1
