Salivary scanning in rheumatoid arthritis with sicca syndrome. 1984

J P De Jager, and D Choy, and A Fleming

Forty-nine patients were studied prospectively by salivary scanning to assess the value of this investigation in possible Sjögren's syndrome (SS). Twenty-three had rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with sicca symptoms and a positive Schirmer's test. Fifteen had RA with no sicca symptoms and a negative Schirmer's test. Eleven had osteoarthrosis (OA) with no sicca symptoms and a negative Schirmer's test. Scanning differentiated only poorly between the three groups. We conclude that it has only limited application in the diagnosis of SS associated with RA.

In the foreign literature it is often called osteoarthrosis deformans.
