Abstract:
Sj?gren′s syndrome(SS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease, including primary SS (pSS) and secondary SS (sSS). Pediatric sSS has the similar clinical characters with pSS, which can be classified based on the same classification criteria.Compared with those of adult SS, pediatric SS is rare, insidious and lacks the typical manifestations of dry eyes and dry mouth.Therefore, the classification criteria for adult SS is not suitable for pediatric SS.So far, there are no classification criteria for pediatric SS that have been widely applied and validated, which needs to be further explored.The present review described the clinical characteristics and progress of classification criteria for pediatric SS, and compared pSS and sSS in affected children.
