Twenty-three had rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with sicca symptoms and a positive Schirmer's test. Fifteen had RA with no sicca symptoms and a negative Schirmer's test. Eleven had osteoarthrosis (OA) with no sicca symptoms and a negative Schirmer's test. Scanning differentiated only poorly between the three groups. We conclude that it has only limited application in the diagnosis of SS associated with RA. ER -
