The authors reported the results of therapy of 28 patients with primary and secondary Sjogren's syndrome by iv injections of protease inhibitors (contrykal and trasylol). Findings of clinical and laboratory tests showed a significant increase in salivation and lacrimation. The elimination of concomitant oral candidosis raised the efficacy of treatment of xerostomia in many patients.
