Abstract
Objective:
We prospectively evaluated the high-resolution CT findings in 50 nonsmoking patients with proven primary Sjögren's syndrome.
Conclusion:
High-resolution CT is a sensitive technique in assessing pulmonary involvement in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome. Interstitial lung disease and bronchiolar inflammatory changes are common abnormal findings seen on CT scans in primary Sjögren's syndrome.
