Fri0242 subpopulation Composition of Inflammatory Infiltrates of the Minor Salivary Gland as an Additional Diagnostic Criterion for Primary Sjogren’s Syndrome
Abstract:Background:Primary Sjogren’s syndrome (pSS) is frequent nosological forms among the diffuse connective tissue diseases. Histological examination of the minor salivary gland (MSG) is important diagnostic method. The currently established histological criteria for pSS indicates 61.2-93.7% sensitivity and 61.2-100% specificity respectively, which makes the search for additional hallmark highly relevant. Immunohistochemical study of MSG is the most appropriate for this purpose.Objectives:To study of the qualitativ… Show more
