[Assessment of viral factors in the etiopathogenesis of Sjögren's syndrome]
Abstract
This study has been carried out in serums of 32 Sjögren's syndrome (SS) patients -16 primary and 16 secondary- who have been followed-up for 3 years in Hacettepe University Medicine Faculty Ophthalmology Department. The serum levels of cytomegalovirus (CMV) antibodies and the antibody titers of herpes simplex virus (HSV) type I has been determined by the ELISA test and the complement fixation method respectively. The viral factors that play a role in the pathogenesis of SS have been discussed in regard to the results of the study.
