| description | A 38-year-old woman presented with rightsided
parotid swelling, dry mouth and dry eyes
of one year duration. Her Schirmer’s test and
sialometry were positive and histopathology
showed lymphoplasmacytic infiltration. She
al so had concomi tant normochromic ,
normocytic anaemia and mild haematuria.
Her anti-nuclear antibody titre was also
positive, 1:640, with a speckled pattern on
immunofluorescence. We discuss the atypical
presentation of systemic lupus erythematosus,
particularly parotitis and secondary Sjogren’s
syndrome. |
