 mary  Brief summary of the workshop: Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic 
 autoimmune disease characterized by symptoms of oral and ocular dryness\, 
 exocrine dysfunction\, lymphocytic infiltration\, and destruction of exocr
 ine glands. The salivary and lacrimal glands are primarily affected\, but 
 Sjögren's syndrome can have wide-spread and diverse manifestations. Drynes
 s may affect other mucosal areas such as the skin\, nasopharynx\, throat\,
  trachea and vagina. Signs of systemic autoimmune disease with musculoskel
 etal\, pulmonary\, gastric\, hematologic\, dermatologic\, renal and neurol
 ogic manifestations many also be evident in patients with SS. The mechanis
 m(s) driving primary SS are poorly understood and may involve a combinatio
 n of environmental and genetic factors. This workshop will bring together 
 three clinician-scientists (Dr Mike Brennan\, Dr John Chiorini and Dr Henr
 i Ménard) to discuss the current epidemiology\, diagnostic challenges\, cl
 inical presentations and currently available management strategies for the
  glandular and extra-glandular manifestations of this condition. The speak
 ers will discuss the limitations of the current management strategies and 
 how the use of microarray technology and other advances in the field are b
 eing utilized to determine new approaches to address the significant probl
 ems experienced by Sjögren's syndrome patients. While there is no fully ad
 equate conventional treatment for this condition\, upon completion of the 
 workshop participants will appreciate management strategies for the wide r
 ange of clinical manifestations that patients experience\, as well as like
 ly future therapies.
