Biopsy-proven acute eosinophilic myocarditis as the initial manifestation of severe primary Sjögren's syndrome: a case report
To our knowledge, this is the first case of severe pSS complicated by AEM. This case highlights the importance of early therapeutic intervention for AEM and early comprehensive surveillance of systemic organs for pSS. Furthermore, this case provides new insights into the pathogenesis of pSS-associated myocarditis.
