- Abstract
The article presents a case study of cryoglobulinaemia with occluding leukocytoclastic vasculitis in a 47-year-old Japanese male patient with demyelinating polyneuropathy and vitiligo. He received oral prednisolone for the treatment of recurrent purpura and subsequent ulcer. Immunofixation electrophoresis detected the presence of immunoglobulin G-k-type and immunoglobulin M-y-type M-proteins. The article discusses type-1 cryoglobulinaemia and its diagnosis in a patient with vitiligo.
