Abstract

Sjögren disease increasingly is recognized in pediatric patients. Clinical features, primarily parotitis and sicca symptoms, and results of diagnostic tests may be different from those in adult disease. Adult criteria fail to capture most pediatric patients. Pediatric-specific criteria are urgently needed to define the natural history of the disease, identify risk and prognostic factors, and evaluate the impact of therapeutics and other interventions on disease course in young patients.
