Are there differences in the clinical and laboratory features of patients with seronegative primary Sjögren's syndrome?
While hematological, renal, pulmonary, and neurological involvements are observed with similar frequency in both seronegative and seropositive pSS patients, the presence of extraarticular manifestations was more common in seropositive patients. Additionally, there was a relationship between extraarticular involvement and low C4 levels.
