"Chronic inflammation" is certainly a clue that something is going on, but it could be caused by many things...its the 'infiltration of lymphocytes' that makes it a Sjogren's diagnosis. The ENT's office may not have read the entire result to you (so typical for them to summarize on their own), so get a copy.
Glad you're seeing a rheumy.

Me too, I'm sure I can get a copy from them when I see them next week. In todays world, medical assistants call you with results and they don't have the training to explain results, only parrot what they are told.
