Abstract
|
|
|
Sjogren’s syndrome is an autoimmune disorder that’s characterized by dry eyes and dry mouth, and this is due to
lymphocytic infiltration of the lacrimal and salivary glands. The skin lesions in Sjogren’s syndrome usually manifest
with xeroderma, pruritus and pigmentation, but sometimes the lesions appear as annular erythema. Patients with
Sjogren’s syndrome rarely display fever, with the exception of the cases that show complicated illness such as
lymphoma. We report here on a case of a 27-year-old woman who was diagnosed with Sjogren’s syndrome, and she
showed signs of annular erythema and a fever of an unknown origin.
