ABSTRACT
Sicca syndrome, which is typical for Sjögren’s syndrome (SS), is relatively often comorbid with other autoimmune diseases. The current classification criteria for SS published in 2016 include only anti-SSA (anti-Ro) autoantibody, while the latest literature proposes that anti-Ro60/anti-Ro52 autoantibody profiles should be used instead, as these two types of antibodies correlate with specific clinical symptoms and laboratory test findings. The paper presents the case of a 41-year-old woman suffering from primary Sjögren’s syndrome (pSS) and her three daughters, who were under observation for rheumatic disorders due to sicca symptoms, especially pSS, as well as a discussion on separate determination of anti-Ro60 and anti-Ro52 autoantibodies based on current literature in the PubMed database. When testing with antinuclear antibodies, the Ro60+Ro52+La+ autoantibody profile most closely matches for pSS. Further research is needed to find marker antibodies for SS and quantification methods.
