Abstract
We have read with great interest in the article by Wang, et al on the higher incidence of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) in patients with primary Sjögren syndrome (pSS) and the higher incidence of pSS in patients with NHL1. Thank you for the discovery of the bilateral relationship between pSS and NHL in this nationwide population-based study1.
