title: Identifying primary Sjögren syndrome in children: case report.
abstract: Primary Sjögren syndrome (PSS) rarely occurs in children. In addition, because the objective and subjective diagnostic criteria for juvenile PSS differ from those seen in adults, identification of its presence can be difficult to establish. This case report illustrates the accepted benchmarks for diagnosing pediatric PSS.
