Abstract
|
|
|
Hypergammaglobulinemic purpura of Waldenstron is a distinct syndrome consisting of recurrent episodes of purpura, elevated serum γ-globulins, elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and mild anemia. This disease has been divided into the
primary
type
without an underlying disease, and the secondary type with a known underlying disease.
We diagnosed a hypergammaglobulinemic purpura of Waldenstrom in a 53-year-old woman who presented sudden onset of showers of purpuric macules and petechiae of 24 hours' duration involving her lower extremities with a 10-month history. She showed
characteristic laboratory findings consistet with those of hypergammaglobulinemic purpura of Waldenstrom and also showed positive results of antinuclear antibody and rheumatoid factor.
We tried to find out if there were any associated underlying diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus or Sjogren syndrome through various tests but failed to find any. We concluded she showed a primary type of hypergammaglobulinemic purpura
of
Waldenstrion. (Kor J Dermatol 1994 ; 32(5) : 911~915).
