Abstract
SummarySecretion from the parotid and the lacrimal glands has been studied in two similar groups of 48 subjects, one consisting of RA patients, the other a control group. Sialometry and sialography has been performed as regards the parotid glands; the secretion of the lacrimal glands has been measured with Schirmer's test I and the occurrence of conjunctival and corneal epithelial defects stainable with Rose-Bengal has been studied.It has been shown that lacrimal and parotid secretion was significantly reduced in the RA group as compared with the control group; that epithelial defects typical for KCS occurred significantly more often in the RA group; that parenchymal changes, sialodochiectasias, existed in the RA group but that sialodochiectasias were completely absent in the control group; that there was no significant co-variation in the RA group between lacrimal and salivary secretion or lacrimal secretion and sialodochiectasias; that criteria for Sjogren's syndrome were fulfilled by 15 subjects in the...
