Abstract

Sjogren’s syndrome is associated with various pulmonary symptoms, and the common manifestations are diffuse parenchymal lung disease and tracheobronchial disease. Association with bronchiectasis, pulmonary embolism and pulmonary hypertension are rare. The advent of high-resolution CT has increased the sensitivity of detecting bronchiectasis. Increased use of new immunosuppressive agents has proved successful in modifying autoimmune disease process.
