GlossarySjogren's syndrome

autoimmune disorder causing dry eyes and mouth

Sjogren's syndrome, also known as Sicca syndrome, is an autoimmune disorder where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own moisture-producing glands. This leads to symptoms such as dry eyes and dry mouth, and it can also affect other organs and systems, including the skin, joints, and nervous system.
