A Case of Hypergammaglobuinemic Purpura of Waldenstrom
|

Abstract
|
|
|
Hypergammaglobulinemic purpura of Waldenstrom is characterized by recurrent episodes of petechiae, hypergammaglobulinemia, an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and the presence of rheumatoid factor, and leukocytoclastic vasculitis of mild
lymphocytic perivasculitis. There is a primary type and a secondary type which is associated with other autoimmune disease.
We present a csae of a 48 year-old female with hypergammaglobulinemic purpura of Waldenstrom. She showed characteristic clinical, histopathological and laboratory findings consistent with hypergammaglobulinemic purpura of Waldenstrom. Although
there was
a decrease in the Schimer test, we could't demostrate an association with Sjogren's syndrome. We think that this case may be a secondary type and needs a follow-up study. (Kor J Dermatol 1995;33(4) : 789~793)
