Sjogren’s Syndrome with Interstitial Lung Disease

ABSTRACT

@#Sjogren’s syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease affecting exocrine glands with known properties to cause chronic systemic multi-organ disease involvement. It produced the typical features of sicca syndrome, but due to insidious onset of the disease, patient may present with complications of the condition at the initial presentation. We present a case of primary Sjogren’s syndrome (SS) who first presented with pulmonary manifestations and was subsequently diagnosed as Lymphocytic Interstitial Pneumonia (LIP). The patient was extensively investigated and received appropriate treatment modalities.
