The frequent coexistence of anti-Ro and anti-La autoantibodies is well described, however, there is little evidence of sequential development of these two autoantibodies. We report a case of typical Sjogren’s syndrome with high titer anti-Ro antibodies, who subsequently developed anti-La antibodies later in the course. This case suggests that the anti-La antibodies may actually follow the anti-Ro antibodies in some cases as hypothesized in the concept of linked set of autoantibodies, analogous to development of anti-Sm in certain anti-nRNP antibody positive SLE patients and animal models.
