Abstract

The cryoglobulinemia , particularly type 1 or monoclonal, is a rare disease with variable severity and diverse clinical manifestations and may lead to death due to multisystem failure and secondary infections. The early recognition and treatment of this disease are essential for a good prognosis. We report a case of cryoglobulinemic disease associated with Monoclonal gammopathy of Undetermined Significance with fatal outcome.
