Cryoglobulins are serum immunoglobulins which precipitate in the cold and redissolve on warming at 37 degrees C. According to its immunochemical composition three different types have been described. Cryoglobulins have been reported associated with hematologic disorders, systemic diseases, infectious conditions, and diseases of the liver and kidneys. There is also an idiopathic variant called essential cryoglobulinemia. Five patients (four males) with mixed essential cryoglobulinemia are reported. Common clinical manifestations included fever, articular symptoms, purpura, glomerulonephritis, Raynaud's phenomenon, erythematomacular cutaneous eruption, polyneuritis and abdominal pain. Serum activity of rheumatoid factor has been detected in three cases; in other three decreased levels of serum complement have been found. Serum HBsAg was negative in four cases (passive hemagglutination technique). It is possible that all cases of mixed essential cryoglobulinemia may correspond to bacterial, viral or fungal occult infections.
