Abstract
In the event of secondary Sjögren syndrome occurring during pregnancy, treatment focuses on the associated disease, mainly systemic lupus erythematosus. In primary Sjögren syndrome, pregnancy does not appear to influence disease course. However, patients with both primary and secondary Sjögren syndrome must be monitored carefully. There is a risk of neonatal lupus and congenital atrioventricular bloc associated with high morbidity and mortality. These patients should benefit from multidisciplinary care in a hospital with a neonatal intensive care unit.
