Abstract

Thirty-six patients with primary Sjogren's syndrome and 60 healthy volunteers underwent provocative bronchial testing with aerosolized dosed methacholine. 18/36 patients had bronchial hyper-responsiveness higher than that found in control population. It is hypothesized that in SS bronchial hyper-responsiveness may be due a lymphocitic inflammation and an alteration in secretion secondary togland damage.
