Remission of nonerosive polyarthritis associated with Sjögren's syndrome after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for lymphoma

J Rheumatol. 1997 Dec;24(12):2466-8.

Abstract

We describe a 50-year-old woman with seropositive rheumatoid arthritis and Sjögren's syndrome who underwent autologous blood stem cell transplantation after relapse of associated non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. This resulted in complete remission not only of the lymphoma, but also the arthritis.
