síndrome de Sjögren

In Spanish, Sjogren's syndrome is translated as síndrome de Sjögren.

The phrase refers to an autoimmune disease characterized by dry eyes and a dry mouth.

Did you know?

Because Sjögren is a Swedish name, Spanish speakers often struggle with the pronunciation of the 'ö', sometimes replacing it with a standard 'o' or 'e' in casual speech.
In Spanish medical contexts, síndrome de Sjögren is often described as a 'disease of the secretions' because it targets the exocrine glands.
The word síndrome comes from the Ancient Greek word sundromḗ, which literally means 'running together'.
