Title: Serial measurements of anticardiolipin antibodies in primary Sjögren's syndrome. Author: Pennec YL, Magadur G, Jouquan J, Youinou P. Journal: Clin Exp Rheumatol; 1991; 9(2):165-7. PubMed ID: 2060162. Abstract: Twenty-four out of 54 patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS) were shown to be positive for IgG and/or IgM anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL). Extraglandular manifestations were related to the IgG-, but not to the IgM-aCL. Twenty SS patients were examined over a 3 year period. Of these, 6 displayed a marked increase in IgG- and IgM-aCL and, among them, 4 developed extraglandular manifestations of SS throughout the follow-up.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
