Sjögren syndrome (SS) is a chronic and systemic autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of the exocrine glands. And histoplasmosis is an invasive mycosis caused by the saprophytic dimorphic fungus H. capsulatum . In patients with primary SS (PSS), disseminated histoplasmosis (DH) is extremely rare.
