AI Article Synopsis
- The authors find the findings from Marketos et al. intriguing, particularly about the presence of certain auto-antibodies in patients with sicca symptoms.
- They suggest that these scleroderma-related antibodies may indicate a link between scleroderma and Sjogren's syndrome rather than just pointing towards Sjogren's alone.
- The authors believe that these antibodies could signal undiagnosed scleroderma, emphasizing the need for further investigation.
Article Abstract
We have read with great interest the results from Marketos et al. regarding the positivity of specific systemic sclerosis auto-antibodies in patients with sicca symptoms. Based on complementary data from the literature, we rather believe scleroderma-associated antibodies should be considered either as a yellow flag for an association between scleroderma and Sjogren, or a potential undiagnosed scleroderma, rather than an isolated Sjogren's disease.
