Abstract：Primary Sj(o)gren's syndrome (pSS) is a progressive autoimmune disease characterized by sicca and systemic manifestations.Treatment decisions are based on the evaluation of symptoms and extraglandular manifestations.Sicca is managed by education,environment modification,artificial tears,secretagogues and treatments for complications.Severe and acute systemic manifestations are managed with glucocorticoids and/or immunosuppressant drugs.The role for biologic agents is promising,but no double-blind randomized controlled trials proving the efficacy of these drugs are available.
