Sjögren's syndrome in patients with multiple sclerosis.
Twenty female patients with clinically multiple sclerosis were evaluated with regard to a possible underlying Sjögren syndrome. Two patients (10%) demonstrated a clinical Sjögren syndrome which does not differ significantly from the prevalence in an unselected population. Dry eye-symptoms occurred among MS-patients and should be subjected to relevant diagnostic procedures.
