abstract: The clinical feature of 20 cases with oral candidiasis in Sjögren's syndrome (SS) were reported, and the treatment effect by topical nystatin smearing, 2% sodium bicarbonate solution rinsing, and transfer factor injecting for about 2 months were analysed. The results showed that the diagnostic criterion of oral candidiasis in SS included two aspects: the SS changes confirmed by labial gland biopsy and candidal hyphae and spores found in a smear. The results indicated that the comprehensive treatments were proved to be effective for oral candidiasis in SS.
