ABSTRACT

Sjogren's syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by a lymphocytic infiltration of the salivary and lacrimal glands leading to a progressive destruction of these glands due to the production of autoantibodies. This disorder is either isolated (primary SS) or associated with other systemic diseases (secondary SS). The occurrence of B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) represents the major complication in the evolution of SS patients. The risk of developing NHL, which is equivalent for both primary and secondary SS, was estimated to be 44 times greater than that observed in a comparable normal population. NHLs in SS patients occur preferentially in the salivary glands and in other mucosa-associated lymphoid tissues (MALT). However, it can also occur in the lymph nodes or bone marrow. We documented a case of low-grade B-cell lymphoma of MALT in the right eyelid and primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) of a patient with SS. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case reported in Korea.

ABSTRACT

El Síndrome de Inmunodeficiencia Adquirida (SIDA) reconocido inicialmente en 1981 como una cuuriosidad médica, después de 15 años de su primera descripción ha tomado dimensiones pandémicas afectando a millones de sujetos en todo el mundo. En México la incidencia del padecimiento es de 1.3 por millón de habitantes, la que coincide con una mayor presentación de patología ocular. El SIDA es ocasionado por un retrovirus denominado Virus de la Inmunodeficiencia Humana (VIH) cuyo mecanismo de daño no está completamente entendido, aunque se relaciona con la destrucción del linfocito cooperador CD4 con la consecuente modificación en la inmunidad, desarrollo de infecciones oportunistas y procesos malignos. Las manifestaciones oculares descritas son la microangiopatía no infecciosa, infecciones oportunistas retinitis por citomegalovirus, neoplasias palpebrales u orbitarias y lesiones neuro oftalmológicas. El presente texto resume el conocimiento actual sobre la fisiopatología, epidemiología, manifestaciones clínicas y tratamiento de las alteraciones oculares ocasionadas por este padecimiento y señala bases para futuras investigaciones
