Anti-SSA/SSB-negative Sjögren's syndrome shows a lower prevalence of lymphoproliferative manifestations, and a lower risk of lymphoma evolution

This study aims to compare clinical and laboratory features of patients who, while satisfying the American European Consensus Group (AECG) criteria for primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS), do not present the positivity for anti-Ro/SSA and/or anti-La/SSB, with patients that meet the AECG criteria and are positive for anti-Ro/SSA and/or anti-La/SSB.
