Summary : Symptomatic cryoglobulinaemia is infrequent in HIV-1-infected patients, but a few cases have been described [1-3], occasionally associated with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection [1, 3]. These cases showed rheumatologic [1] or neurologic manifestations [2, 3], but until now no cutaneous symptoms associated with cryoglobulinaemia in HIV-infected patients have been described. We report what we believe to be the first case of cutaneous, symptomatic cryoglobulinaemia in an HIV-1-positive patient, who, in addition, was HCV-negative. |
