  • Title: Premature ovarian failure and hypothyroidism associated with sicca syndrome.
    Author: Ayala A, Canales ES, Karchmer S, Alarcón D, Zárate A.
    Journal: Obstet Gynecol; 1979 Mar; 53(3 Suppl):98S-101S. PubMed ID: 424141.
    Abstract:
    Two cases of premature ovarian failure, hypothyroidism, and sicca syndrome are described. To our knowledge, this association of sicca syndrome and multiglandular deficiency has not been previously reported. The finding of specific organ antibodies, as well as antibodies to nonorgan antigens in the 2 cases studied, supports the hypothesis that these rare clinical conditions may share a common autoimmune pathogenesis.
