Type III Mixed Cryoglobulinemia Associated with Digital Necrotic Ulcer Successfully Treated with Intermittent Intravenous Pulse Cyclophosphamide

Abstract: Cryoglobulinemic vasculitis is an immune complex-mediated vasculitis predominantly affecting small vessels. The authors report an 18-year-old woman with painful digital necrotic ulcer due to type III cryoglobulinemic vasculitis on the basis of systemic lupus erythematosus. Serum protein electrophoresis and immunoelectrophoresis demonstrated a polyclonal peak of the immunoglobulin Glambda (IgGlambda) and IgMlambda type. The patient was successfully treated with intermittent intravenous pulse cyclophosphamide.

Estos hallazgos son evidentes en las imágenes previamente expuestas en el artículo.…”
