Abstract
Unlike anti-Ro(SS-A) antibody positive subacute cutaneous lupus erythe matosus (SCLE) patients, anti-Ro(SS-A) antibody positive lupus patient s with Sjogren's syndrome (SS/LE) appear to have a more guarded progno sis. Our studies indicate these SS/LE patients have an increased frequ ency of pulmonary, neurological, and renal disease compared to SCLE pa tients.
