HLA-antigens were studied in 116 Greek patients: 22 with pSS, 14 with sSS and RA, 26 with classical RA and 420 healthy controls. A statistically significant increase in HLA-DR5 was observed mainly in pSS patients with anti-Ro (SSA). A significant increase in HLA-B8, HLA-DR3 and HLA-DR5 was observed in pSS patients with anti-La (SSB) antibodies as compared to the controls. Ter Arkh
