Polyneuropathy in Sjogren’s syndrome – a long path from symptom to diagnosis
Abstract. Various forms of polyneuropathies are frequent extraglandular manifestations of Sjogren’s syndrome and disease. Article describes a clinical case of Sjogren’s disease, in which polyneuropathy became the first clinical symptom of the disease, three years before the main diagnosis was made. In patients with polyneuropathy, complaints and anamnesis should be carefully assessed and the necessary diagnostics should be carried out in order to exclude Sjogren’s syndrome and disease.Ostapchuk E.S., Gorbachevsky A.V., Vorobyev A.A.
