Differences in clinical phenotypes of primary Sjögren’s syndrome depending on early or late onset

Patients with early-onset pSS differ from those with late-onset pSS in terms of higher incidence of peripheral lymphadenopathy and cytopenia. The involvement of lung tissue and joints as well as dryness symptoms are common in pSS regardless of age. The RF plays a role in the pathomechanism of pSS development.
