Lymphocytic sialadenitis in the major and minor glands: a correlation in postmortem subjects.

In the present investigation, the prevalence of focal lymphocytic adenitis in the submandibular salivary gland was observed in a series of 116 postmortem subjects after suitable exclusions had been made. Focal lymphocytic adenitis could not be demonstrated in the labial salivary glands. The degree of lymphocytic infiltration in the labial salivary glands is positively correlated with the level of focal lymphocytic adenitis in the submandibular glands in the same subject. Lymphocytic foci and lymphocytic infiltrations found under these circumstances are probably related. This finding provides conceptual support for the examination, by biopsy, of the labial glands in patients suspected of Sjögren's syndrome.

Labial salivary gland biopsy in Sjögren's disease.

A labial biopsy technique is described and was used to study 40 patients with connective tissue disease and 60 postmortem subjects. More than one focus of lymphocytes per 4 sq mm of minor salivary tissue was found to be a consistent finding in patients with Sjögren's disease. The labial biopsy is shown to be a further valuable investigative procedure in such patients.

Mycoplasmas and recurrent oral ulceration.

A controlled cultural and serological investigation of mycoplasmas in recurrent oral ulceration was undertaken. No evidence for an aetiological relationship between oral mycoplasmas and this condition was obtained.Mycoplasmas, principally M. orale, were frequently recovered from the oral cavities of individuals with natural teeth, but rarely from edentulous subjects.
