J Madrenas, and M Vallés, and M C Ruiz Marcellan, and J Fort, and F García Bragado, and A Pelegrí

A 49-year-old male with essential mixed cryoglobulinemia IgM kappa-IgG of 4-years duration was treated with corticosteroids and immunosuppressive drugs during the repeated episodes. Finally, he developed a new episode with severe renal involvement and pulmonary hemorrhage without other associated etiological factors. The optical and immunofluorescent histological findings in lung and kidney are described. This is the second case of pulmonary hemorrhage and cryoglobulinemia associated with essential mixed cryoglobulinemia reported in the literature. A relation between essential mixed cryoglobulinemia and glomerulonephritis and pulmonary hemorrhage is suggested.
