[Rheumatic manifestations of Gougerot-Houwers-Sjögren syndrome].

The authors retrospectively survey the concept of the Gougerot-Houwers-5jögren syndrome which links articular disease with the "dry" syndrome (pharyngitis sicca) and then go on to study the rheumatic conditions found in the Gougerot-Houwers-Sjögren syndrome. They point out that the association between the "dry" syndrome and rheumatic appearances varies in frequency according as whether the problem is seen from a rheumatological, dermatological, ophthalmological or stomatological point of view. They establish the frequency of the various rheumatic conditions, stressing the importance of the association with rheumatoid polyarthritis.
