The Australian Sjögren's Syndrome Association

 

Sjögren's (pronounced "SHOW-grins") syndrome is a chronic auto-immune disorder.
A disorder in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks it's own moisture producing glands. Lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell, infiltrate and destroy these glands causing decreased production of saliva and tears.
