ABSTRACT
Cryoglobulinemia is a condition characterize by precipitation at a low temperature of a serum globulins call cryoglobulins. The
accumulation of protein in the vessels of several organs leads to a condition of smalls and medium vessels vasculitis, with tissue
damage and failure of the compromise organ. The present case describes this disease in a 35-year-old female patient with
arthralgia, cutaneous symptoms hair loss and worsening psychopathy. She is remitted to are service with progressive deteriorating
clinical and psychological status, diagnosing a lupus erythematosus and a cryoglobulinemia type III. This patient had, at the time
of the diagnosis, hard to treat complications.
