Abstract
|
|
|
Sjogren’s syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disorder in which lymphocytes infiltrate the exocrine glands, resulting
in the development of sicca symptoms. Lymphocytes may also invade various other organs and cause diverse symptoms. Interstitial pneumonia has been observed frequently in SS patients. Typically, the pneumonia responds
well to systemic steroids, and fatal cases are rare. We experienced a case of lymphocytic pneumonia accompanied
by SS and treated with cyclophosphamide pulse therapy, and we present details of the case herein.
