- Lacrimal gland aplasia – genetic absence of lacrimal glands.
Blood, hematopoietic organs – immune system (D50-D90).
- Sarcoidosis – inflammatory systemic disease affecting mainly the skin, lungs and lymph nodes.
Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases (E00-E90).
- Xeroophthalmia – dryness of the eye as a symptom of vitamin A deficiency or after infection of the eye with chlamydia.
Skin and subcutaneous (L00-L99).
- Stevens-Johnson syndrome (synonym: erythema exsudativum multiforme majus and dermatostomatitis Baader) – a skin disorder resulting in high fever and exanthema; probably caused by mycoplasma or resulting from drug allergy.
Infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99).
- Mumps (Goat Peter) – viral infectious disease of the salivary glands.
Musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (M00-M99).
- Chronic polyarthritis – autoimmune disease of the rheumatic type leading to multiple concurrent joint inflammations.
- Sjögren’s syndrome (SS; group of sicca syndromes) – autoimmune disease from the group of collagenoses, which leads to a chronic inflammatory disease of the exocrine glands, most often the salivary and lacrimal glands; typical sequelae or complications of the sicca syndrome are:
- Keratoconjunctivitis sicca (dry eye syndrome) due to lack of wetting of the cornea and conjunctiva with tear fluid.
- Increased susceptibility to caries due to xerostomia (dry mouth) due to reduced salivary secretion.
- Rhinitis sicca (dry nasal mucous membranes), hoarseness and chronic cough irritation and impaired sexual function due to disruption of mucous gland production of the respiratory tract and genital organs.
Neoplasms – tumor diseases (C00-D48).
- Leukemia (blood cancer)
Psyche – nervous system (F00-F99; G00-G99)
- Cranial nerve lesions, unspecified.
