Purpose
As Sjögren syndrome is regarded by ophthalmologists as a synonim of dry eye syndrome, we decided to evaluate how often these patients demonstrate other than ocular symptoms, especially systemic complications.

Material and methods
We examined 30 patients with primary (PZS) and 45 patients with secondary Sjögren syndrome (WZS).

Results
Pathological findings in course of Sjögren syndrome concerned predominantly eyes (94%) and mucous membrane of the mouth (91%), salivary glands (65%) and skin. The most frequent complaint was fatigue (91%).

Conclusions
Sjögren syndrome is a chronic systemic disease, in which predominant symptoms are: dryness of mucous membranes, chronic fatigue, painful joints and stomach disturbances.
