Abstract

Primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease that is characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of the exocrine glands and extraglandular organ systems. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is common in pSS patients and is one of the independent risk factors for a poor prognosis. The previously reported characteristics and potential risks contributing to pSS-associated ILD have been controversial. A cohort of 201 newly diagnosed pSS patients were studied over a period of 3 years. Data were from clinical charts. The pSS patients were classified into two groups, namely pSS-ILD or pSS without ILD, according to the lung evaluation. In total, the prevalence of pSS-associated ILD was 78.6%. The pSS patients associated ILD were more likely to be male, older and smokers in comparison to the pSS patients without ILD. There were no significant differences in multiorgan involvement between the two groups. Nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) was the most common radiological pattern (45.5%). pSS with ILD was associated with increasing age [odds ratio (OR) =1.073], smoking (OR =8.544) and antinuclear antibody (ANA) positive (OR =3.286). Over a median follow-up period of 24 months (range, 18-30 months), no patie...Continue Reading

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
