October 27th, 2021 1.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit Hours
Description
Sjören disease is a chronic, systemic autoimmune disease primarily affecting the salivary glands in the oral cavity and the lacrimal glands in the eyes. It occurs more often in women (86%) than in men with peak incidence occurring around age 50 years. Diagnosis can be challenging, as symptoms of dry eye/mouth and fatigue can be associated with other more common conditions as well as from medications. Treatment is primarily supportive/palliative, as there is no cure.
