Services and Programs
Rheumatologists in the Penn Sjogren's Syndrome
Center collaborate closely with physicians in
the Department of Ophthalmology and the Department
of Oral Medicine to provide a complete diagnosis
and treatment program for patients suffering
from Sjogren's.
Once Sjogren's is suspected,
physicians will reqeust a series of blood tests,
opthalmolgic tests and dental tests. A course
of treatment is then determined, which could
include prescription products, over-the-counter
medications and non-medications strategies.
Treatment should also include high quality dental
and eye
care.
