Sjögren’s Syndrome - Diagnosis | Johns Hopkins

There are many ways for a patient to present Sjögren’s Syndrome. The most common one is dryness of the eyes and mouth, but other signs include neurological problems, internal organ problems, and joint pain. Once a doctor recognizes the signs, the first step is to confirm there is deficiency of tear and saliva production. In this video, Dr. Alan Baer, the Director of the Jerome L. Greene Sjögren's Syndrome Center, explains how to confirm a Sjögren's Syndrome diagnosis.
