OBJECTIVE To describe the findings and course of myositis in primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS). METHODS We studied myositis in SS when clinically indicated. Of 104 patients with SS, we identified 3 cases. In all, the diagnosis was made according to clinical data, biochemical, electromyographic and biopsy criteria. Other autoimmune diseases were excluded. RESULTS We found a prevalence of 3% of myositis secondary to SS. There were no significant associations between myositis and other clinical or laboratory variables. CONCLUSIONS Although rare, myositis must be considered a part of the spectrum of SS. In our experience, treatment with steroids and immunosuppressive drugs was successful.
