Primary Sjögren's syndrome and associated lung disease: CT findings in 50 patients.
OBJECTIVE
We prospectively evaluated the high-resolution CT findings in 50 nonsmoking patients with proven primary Sjögren's syndrome.


CONCLUSIONS
High-resolution CT is a sensitive technique in assessing pulmonary involvement in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome. Interstitial lung disease and bronchiolar inflammatory changes are common abnormal findings seen on CT scans in primary Sjögren's syndrome.
