Combined investigation of 43 patients with sclerodermia systematica (SSD) was conducted to detect Sjogren's syndrome (SS) and to study SSD association with SS. Four groups of patients were defined: with marked SS (10), primary SS (12), probable SS (13), and without SS manifestations (8). Comparative characterization has shown that SS is detected slightly more frequently in a chronic course of SSD, combines with manifestations of sclerodactyly, telangiectasia, calcinosis, however esophageal hypomobility, indurative skin changes and contractures which are typical of SSD, occur less frequently than in SSD patients without SS. SSD association with SS is characterized by polyarthralgia, arthritis, marked Raynaud's syndrome, the frequency and rather high RF titers, the detection of anti-Ro and anti-La, and a significant rise of the level of circulating immune complexes determined by SS influence. SS manifestations in SSD are retention pains in the parotid glands, signs of clearness on sialograms, periductal sclerosis in the form of rings in morphological investigation of the parotid glands.

D012595 Scleroderma, Systemic A chronic multi-system disorder of CONNECTIVE TISSUE. It is characterized by SCLEROSIS in the SKIN, the LUNGS, the HEART, the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT, the KIDNEYS, and the MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM. Other important features include diseased small BLOOD VESSELS and AUTOANTIBODIES. The disorder is named for its most prominent feature (hard skin), and classified into subsets by the extent of skin thickening: LIMITED SCLERODERMA and DIFFUSE SCLERODERMA.

D012859 Sjogren's Syndrome Chronic inflammatory and autoimmune disease in which the salivary and lacrimal glands undergo progressive destruction by lymphocytes and plasma cells resulting in decreased production of saliva and tears. The primary form, often called sicca syndrome, involves both KERATOCONJUNCTIVITIS SICCA and XEROSTOMIA. The secondary form includes, in addition, the presence of a connective tissue disease, usually rheumatoid arthritis.
