About Sjogren's Syndrome in New Delhi

It can occur alone (primary) or alongside other autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus (secondary). Beyond glandular dryness, the condition can also affect the skin, joints, lungs, kidneys, and nervous system. It predominantly affects women, typically appearing after age 40.
