“…However, it cannot, for obvious reasons, be taken into consideration to give cytostatica to pregnant women and the treatment of the disease with penicillamin as recommended by Ritzman and Levin [15,16] also seems too dangerous during pregnancy.…”

Described is a case of peripheral neuropathy secondary to essential cryoglobulinemia. This complication of the disease is exceptional. One month prior to admission, a 28-year-old woman complained of paresthesias in the distal parts on her limbs; this was followed by impairment of sensation, with difficulties in standing and walking. Finally, there was an almost total loss of motion of the fingers of both hands. The clinical picture and laboratory studies demonstrated a damage of the nerve trunks, of equal intensity in the arms and the left leg. In the right leg it was less marked. The cryoprecipitate was composed of IgG and IgM. The possible mechanisms of the immunological reactions, and the pathogenesis of the neurological manifestations are discussed.

“…According to Meltzer and co-workers [12], the resultant is chemic phenomena may be severe enough to produce tissue damage as well as hemorrhagic phenomena. Other possible contributing factors in the development of the symptoms are cold agglutination of erythrocytes, local tissue reaction to the precipitated protein, interaction with host complement components, vasoconstriction, secondary vessel wall dam age and defects in platelet function [6,13,15]. In some cases the pre cipitation of cryoglobulins may even take place at 37 °C.…”
