Twenty female patients with clinically multiple sclerosis were evaluated with regard to a possible underlying Sjögren syndrome. Two patients (100%) demonstrated a clinical Sjögren syndrome which does not differ significantly from the prevalence in an unselected population. Dry eye‐symptoms occurred among MS‐patients and should be subjected to relevant diagnostic procedures.
