A patient with apparent anaemia and thrombocytopenia caused by a monoclonal paraprotein is described. The patient's serum contained a monoclonal IgM kappa, a cryoglobulin and a cold agglutinin. The cryoglobulin, similar to the serum paraprotein, was a monoclonal IgM kappa. Serum was studied to determine the relationship of the cryoglobulin with the cold agglutinin. The cryoglobulin and cold agglutinin were found to be the same paraprotein. Moreover, with absorption and elution techniques the reactivity of the autoantibody with both erythrocytes and platelets was demonstrated. Reports of cryoprecipitable cold agglutinins are rare and therefore this case is exceptional given that the IgM kappa paraprotein was found to be a cold agglutinin which was also reactive with platelets.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007075 Immunoglobulin M A class of immunoglobulin bearing mu chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN MU-CHAINS). IgM can fix COMPLEMENT. The name comes from its high molecular weight and originally was called a macroglobulin. Gamma Globulin, 19S,IgM,IgM Antibody,IgM1,IgM2,19S Gamma Globulin,Antibody, IgM
D010265 Paraproteinemias A group of related diseases characterized by an unbalanced or disproportionate proliferation of immunoglobulin-producing cells, usually from a single clone. These cells frequently secrete a structurally homogeneous immunoglobulin (M-component) and/or an abnormal immunoglobulin.
