TI  - The relationship between anti-Ro (SS-A) antibody-positive Sjogren's syndrome and 
      anti-Ro (SS-A) antibody-positive lupus erythematosus.
PG  - 63-71
AB  - Ten Ro(SS-A) antibody-positive patients with Sjogren's syndrome and lupus 
      erythematosus are described. These patients have a disease process characterized 
      by the frequent appearance of annular polycyclic lupus lesions of subacute 
      cutaneous lupus erythematosus (SCLE), as well as neurologic and pulmonary 
      disease. The Ro(SS-A) antibody-positive patients may have Sjogren's syndrome for 
      many years and then suddenly develop lupus erythematosus, and vice versa. These 
      studies demonstrate that the patient with Ro(SS-A) antibody may exhibit a dynamic 
      clinical disease expression over time and that there is a closer pathologic 
      relationship between Sjogren's syndrome and SCLE in these patients with 
      Ro(SS-A)-antibody than has previously been appreciated. Furthermore, 
      Ro(SS-A)-positive patients with Sjogren's syndrome and lupus erythematosus appear 
      to have a much more guarded prognosis than those Ro(SS-A)-positive lupus patients 
      described under the classifications of antinuclear antibody-negative lupus 
      erythematosus and SCLE.
