ABSTRACT
Sjogren's syndrome is a chronic,slowly progressive,autoimmune disease in which the exocrine glands are damaged by lymphocytic infiltration,resulting in xerostomia and xerophthalmia.Fever in patients with Sjogren's syndrome is rarely manifested with the exception of cases with complicated illness such as lymphoma.We experienced a 70-year-old male patient with Sjogren's syndrome who was presented with fever of unknown origin.Despite of thorough investigation,other diseases to cause fever could not be found.Fever and other clinical features were improved with empirical steroid therapy.
