Pôster:

Sjögren's syndrome was described in 1933 with the triad arthritis, dry eye and dry mouth. It`s characterized by lymphocyte infiltration in exocrine glands and in other organs, with the production of various autoantibodies. It has several renal manifestations, such as renal tubular acidosis. Periodic Hypokalemic Palisys is a rare manifestation due to renal tubular acidosis.

Case report

A 54-year-old female caucasian woman with controlled hypothyroidism initiated fever and hyaline rhinorrhea associated with proximal paresis of the lower and upper limbs. She complained of xerostomia and xerophthalmia of long standing and had ophthalmology diagnosis of keratoconjunctivitis sicca. Serum potassium was 1.6 mmol/L and creatine phosphokinase was 10.000 U/L, referring to periodic hypokalemic paralysis. She has creatinine ratio of 1.2 mg/dL, no change in blood count, negative inflammatory tests and normal thyroid function. Direct antiglobulin test, lupus anticoagulant, anticardiolipins, anti-dsDNA and anti-SM were all negative. ANA was 1/320 thick dotted nuclear pattern and anti-Ro and anti-La were upper 200 U/ml. She had also rheumatoid factor by latex positive. Chest X-rays and wrists showed no changes. Electrocardiogram showed U-wave. Venous gasometry showed metabolic acidosis with normal anion gap and by associating it with hypokalemia it could be defined Distal Renal Tubular Acidosis attributed to Sjögren's Syndrome. She was treated with hydroelectrolytic support, Prednisone 1mg/kg/day and Hydroxychloroquine 400mg/day, with total resolution of the disease.

Conclusion

We present a case report of Primary Sjögren's Syndrome with rare and severe manifestation diagnosed in an Emergency Unit. Outcome reports on rare diseases with severe manifestations are necessary to enhance therapeutic plans for this kind os patient in the near future.
