10 Symptoms of Sjogren's Syndrome
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #6: Fever
A fever is generally an immune response to a certain type of condition. They can occur when fighting off a bacterial or viral infection, and also when the organs in the body become inflamed. In this case, Sjogren’s may cause the heart, liver, or kidneys to become inflamed. As a result, patients may find that they experience recurring fevers.
The fevers are generally not too intense, however, they are still an indication that the problem is developing and should be attended to. Since there are so many conditions that cause fevers it can be difficult to identify whether or not someone is suffering from Sjogren’s.
