[Chronic obstructive bronchopneumopathies as manifestations of a Gougerot-Sjögren syndrome. Apropos of 2 cases].

Abstract

The authors report two cases of Sjögren's syndrome presenting as chronic obstructive bronchopulmonary disease. They stress the need to consider the possibility of Sjögren's syndrome when confronted with chronic obstructive lung disease in a woman in her fifties, without history of bronchopulmonary disease or smoking, unexposed to occupational dust and without ENT infection or gastro-oesophageal reflux.
