title: [The immunologic processes of the etiopathogenesis of Sjögren's syndrome].
abstract: In this study 32 Sjögren's syndrome cases--16 primary and 16 secondary--have been followed-up for 3 years in Hacettepe University Medicine Faculty Ophthalmology Department. The serum levels of rheumatoid factor and complement have been determined and autoantibodies have been looked for by the indirect immunofluorescence technique. The immunological processes that play a role in the pathogenesis of Sjögren's syndrome have been discussed with regard to the results of the study.
