Primary Sjogrens Syndrome in a Child
Sjögren syndrome is uncommon in children and occurs most often in association with autoimmune diseases (secondary Sjögren syndrome). We describe the clinical and biological features of a 7-year-old girl with primary Sjögren syndrome revealed by recurrent parotiditis. CASE REPORT A 7-year-old girl was referred for investigation of multiple episodes of parotid swelling since age 4 years, withou...
متن کامل3431 Conjunctiva immunopathology in primary sjogrens syndrome (1° S.S.)
Aim: To evaluate the histological changes and immune response of conjuctiva in patients (pts) with lo S.S. Materials and Methods: We studied conjunctiial biopsies from 15 pts with I0 S.S. and 2 normal controls using 1) paraflfn section screening for the quality of conjunctival epithelium (CE), the number of goblet cells (GC) and the degree of inflammation, 2) Mo-abs and Pabs to: Tlymphocytes, T...
متن کاملProfiling Micro-RNA expression in patients with Primary Sjogrens Syndrome – contribution to disease pathogenesis
Background Sjogrens syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disorder, characterised by lymphocytic infiltration resulting in exocrine gland destruction and other extra-glandular manifestations [1]. Currently there is no definitive diagnostic test, and the immuno-pathology is not fully understood. Recently focus has shifted to investigating microRNAs (miRs) in an effort to understand the mechanism...
متن کاملSjogrens syndrome--the non-apoptotic model of glandular hypofunction.
The ‘classical’ model to explain glandular hypofunction in Sjögrens syndrome (SS) is tissue loss secondary to immune attack mediated by a combination of apoptosis and cytotoxic cell death (reviewed recently by Ramos-Casals and Font [1]). In this model, the process of glandular destruction is made self-sustaining by the continued production of novel ‘self ’ antigens, secondary to apoptotic bleb ...
متن کاملOne gene, two transcripts: isolation of an alternative transcript encoding for the autoantigen La/SS-B from a cDNA library of a patient with primary Sjogrens' syndrome
A cDNA library was prepared from peripheral blood lymphocytes of an autoimmune patient with primary Sjögrens' syndrome. The cDNA library was screened with the patients own autoimmune serum being monospecific for the nuclear autoantigen La/SS-B. Thereby an alternative type of La mRNA was identified that differed from the known La mRNA due to an exchange of the exon 1. Sequencing of the genomic r...
