title: Chronic sensory neuropathy with anti-Ro antibodies without clinical features of Sjögren's syndrome.
abstract: We present the clinical, electrophysiological and serological findings of a patient with a 13-year history of a chronic sensory neuropathy associated with anti-Ro (SS-A) antibodies, in whom there were no clinical or pathological features of Sjögren's syndrome. Given the possible therapeutic implications we suggest that anti-Ro antibodies be sought in any patient presenting with a chronic sensory neuropathy, even in the absence of clinical or pathological features of Sjögren's syndrome.
