  • Title: Hepatitis C virus and Sjögren's syndrome.
    Author: Rodriguez-Cuartero A, Garcia-Vera E, Gomez-Cerro A.
    Journal: Infection; 1994; 22(6):415-6. PubMed ID: 7535294.
    Abstract:
    Viral infection has been suggested as a possible cause of Sjögren's syndrome. After we had noted Sjögren's syndrome in several patients infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV), we set up a prospective study to investigate the association of Sjögren's syndrome and HCV liver disease. We studied 10 patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome and observed four with HCV infection. A striking association between HCV infection and Sjögren's syndrome was found; however, a direct link could not be proved.
