AB Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is characterized by chronic inflammation occurring primarily in the exocrine glands. Better ways of defining and diagnosing patients with SS, monitoring patients and their disease activity, understanding the pathogenesis of the disease, and addressing the lack of effective evidence-based treatment are some of the challenges currently facing clinicians and patients. This is a very active field of research, with more than 800 articles published from 2013 to 2014. This article presents an overview of the latest SS research findings.
