- Abstract
The article reports that the serum complement levels were determined in seven patients with mixed cryoglobulinaemia. All seven patients had either no measurable or very low levels of C'2. C'50 haemolytic units were determined in three patients and were also found low, although less striking. The mechanism by which the blood of these patients became depleted of C'2 could not be determined. Six patients had C'2 levels which were below the sensitivity level of the methods and one patient had a level of 220 units. The total complement levels were determined in three patients.
