Sjogren's Syndrome: Is there a connection to the Epstein Barr Virus? |
hey all. I was wondering if anyone has ever heard of Sjogren's Syndrome having a connection (existing as a result of) Epstein Barr Virus. I was tested for it (Sjogren's that is) last Monday, and I know that when I first got sick I had ALOT of Epstein Barr Virus in my bloodstream, and I know that alot of diseases/conditions/syndromes can occur as a result of a high dose of Epstein Barr Virus (or so i read on the web) it is proposed that the initiating event in primary Sjogren's syndrome is infection with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and that the autoimmune exocrinopathy that progresses to keratoconjunctivitis sicca and xerostomia is a sequel to this. |
