The international Sjögren’s community has officially changed the disease name Sjögren’s Syndrome to Sjögren’s Disease!
Sjögren’s disease is now the official name of the disease and the term “secondary Sjögren’s,” has been discarded as it connoted that Sjögren’s was “less than” the other disease(s).
The Sjögren’s Foundation is excited to announce that the international Sjögren’s community has officially changed the disease name from Sjögren’s syndrome to Sjögren’s disease to better indicate the serious and systemic nature of the disease. The term “secondary Sjögren’s” meant to label that a patient has Sjogren’s plus another autoimmune disease, was also discarded and will be replaced with “associated” to indicate the significance of both (or several) diseases in a patient’s overall health.
