“…CT scans in Sjögren's syndrome often shows abnormalities in large airways (airway wall thickening and bronchiectasis) together with indirect signs of abnormalities in small airways (centrilobular nodules and expiratory air trapping) [48,53,58,[67][68][69][70].…”

This review is the summary of a workshop on small airways disease, which took place in Porquerolles, France in November 2011. The purpose of this workshop was to review the evidence on small airways (bronchiolar) involvement under various pathophysiological circumstances, excluding asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Histopathological patterns associated with small airways disease were reviewed, including cellular and obliterative bronchiolitis. Many pathophysiological conditions have been associated with small airways disease including airway infections, connective tissue diseases and inflammatory bowel diseases, bone marrow and lung transplantation, common variable immunodeficiency disorders, diffuse panbronchiolitis, and diseases related to environmental exposures to pollutants, allergens and drugs. Pathogenesis, clinical presentation, a computed tomography scan and pulmonary function test findings are reviewed, and therapeutic options are described with the objective of providing an integrative approach to these disorders.

“…A review of the high-resolution CT scan findings in Sjögren's syndrome found an incidence of emphysema of 37% (9 of 24 patients) (2). A variety of other abnormalities were seen mostly commonly bronchiectasis (11 of 24), thin-walled parenchymal cysts (11 of 24), and small pulmonary nodules (11 or 24).…”

“…However, Sjögren syndrome is well known to be a female-predominant disorder, with reported female-to-male ratios ranging from 9:1 to 20:1 for all comers (14, 15), and 5:1 to 9:1 in patients with Sjögren syndrome with pulmonary involvement (2,5,6). Indeed, in one study evaluating 80 patients with Sjögren syndrome and lung involvement, there were no men in the cohort (3).…”
