Sjogren's Syndrome
Sjogren's syndrome is a disorder of our immune system. The immune cells attack and destroy the exocrine glands. The mucous membranes and moisture-secreting glands of the eyes and mouth are affected first which causes decreased production of tears and saliva. Although the eyes and mouth are the most common area affected, the immune system can also damage other parts in the body such as the kidneys, thyroid, liver, or lungs.
Causes/Risk Factors
Scientists do not fully understand how this syndrome comes to affect people, or why it happens in some people and not others. It is believed that either a virus or bacterial infection may trigger the cause or that certain genes put people at high risk. Although anyone is capable of obtaining the syndrome, there are some known risk factors that increase chances of getting it. Usually people over the age of 40 and women obtain Sjogren's syndrome. This syndrome can also be hereditary and it is common that people who have Sjogren's will also have a rheumatic disease such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis.
Symptoms/Complications
As listed above, Sjogren's usually affects the eyes and mouth, but the picture shown below shows a list of different ways Sjogren's could affect the body

(wellsphere.com)Treatment
At present time, there is actually no known cure for Sjogren's syndrome. Instead, there are only ways to treat the symptoms of Sjogren's. For the chronic dry eyes, eye drops and artificial tears are used to help keep the eyes moist. Restasis can also be prescribed that suppresses the inflammation that disrupts tear secretion. To help with the dry mouth, prescription drugs such as cevimeline (Evoxac) and pilocarpine can be taken to help stimulate salivary flow. In cases that are much more serious, corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs may be prescribed.
