    Abstract:
    Lysozyme (LZM), immunoglobulins and beta 2-microglobulin concentrations were measured in the saliva of 79 patients with primary (n = 29) or secondary (n = 50) Sjögren's syndrome and in a control population. beta 2-microglobulin and immunoglobulins A, G and M concentrations were higher, and LZM concentrations lower than in controls. A significant correlation was established between LZM and immunoglobulins, but no correlation was found between immunoglobulins and beta 2-microglobulin, nor between the latter and LZM. These results indicate that salivary LZM concentration may be of value in the diagnosis of Sjögren's syndrome.
