Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disease of unknown etiology, clinically manifested by dry eyes (xerophthalmia) and dry mouth (xerostomia). In childhood SS is a rare disease, clinically atypically or asymptomatic and is often unrecognized. We report a girl with asymptomatic, juvenile form of primary Sjögren's syndrome (JSS).
