We diagnosed a patient with chronic dry mouth for 3 years as definite Sjogren's syndrome by the criteria for diagnosis of Sjogren's syndorne proposed by the 1st international seminar on Sjogren's syndrome. The clinical immunologic , hematologic, scintigraphic, and histologic examinations were performed. The patient showed severe xeorstomia, keratoconjunctiva sicca, severe infiltration of lymphocytes in minor salivary glands, and evidences of autoantibodies. The patient's history and clinical findings excluded preexisting lymphoma, graft-versus-host disease, acquired immunodeficiency disease, and sarcoidosis.
