Association of Primary Sjögren's Syndrome and Vitamin B12 Deficiency: A Cross-Sectional Case-Control Study.

Descriptive and retrospective studies without control groups have suggested a possible association between primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) and vitamin B12 (B12) deficiency. This is of importance because several mucosal and neurological features are common to these two conditions and could be prevented or reversed in case of B12 deficiency. We aimed to evaluate the association between pSS and B12 deficiency.
