Cryoglobulinemia is a rare vasculitis affecting arteries of small and medium caliber, and the veins, that is produced by deposition of immune complexes in vessel walls, with subsequent activation of the complement system. This disorder is classified according to the composition of the precipitate in 3 ways: monoclonal cryoglobulinemia (type I), composed of simple monoclonal immunoglobulin, mixed cryoglobulinemia, consisting of a mixture of polyclonal IgG and monoclonal IgM rheumatoid factor (type II) and the polyclonal variety (type III). This type of classification has a good clinical and etiological correlation. Type I is associated with lymphoproliferative disease and multiple myeloma, while types II and III are associated with connective tissue diseases and infections.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0005"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a></p><p id="par0010" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The clinical manifestations of cryoglobulinemia symptoms can vary from only general and non-specific to joint pain, renal, neuropathic and skin involvement, which in a few cases can become acronecrosis.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0010"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a></p><p id="par0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The association between hepatitis C virus (HCV) and mixed cryoglobulinemia (MC) has been highly evident from the recognition of serological markers for HCV infection, and found in 90% of cases.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a> However, there are some cases in which no associated pathology can been determined, so this group is classified as essential<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0020"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a> cryoglobulinemia.</p><p id="par0020" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Here we present a case of essential mixed cryoglobulinemia not associated with hepatitis C infection, presented with symptoms of lower limb acronecrosis, which required amputation of several distal phalanges of the foot, despite an early diagnosis, as a result a poor response to treatment.</p></span><span id="sec0010" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle">Case Report</span><p id="par0025" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">A 64-year-old woman with a history of hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus treated with torasemide 5<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mg/day and dietary control, respectively, came to the clinic. She had started her illness with symptoms of joint pain and Raynaud's phenomenon in hands and feet almost 1 year prior. Twenty days before admission she presented fever predominantly during the evening, with an average temperature of 38<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>°C, which diminished with metamizole, as well as burning sensation in the legs, fatigue and weight loss of 6–7<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>kg in the past 10 months. Upon examination, the patient was febrile but other vital signs were in the normal, with a good general condition, focused and well hydrated. A cardiac auscultation showed rhythmic sounds, a I–II/VI ejection murmur, but no other abnormalities; peripheral pulses were present. On examination of skin there was discoloration of the lower limbs, mainly on the dorsal aspect of the foot (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Fig. 1</a>). The remainder of the examination was normal. During hospitalization, the analysis showed leukocytosis 13<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>500<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>cells/mm<span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span> (75% segmented PMN, 15% lymphocytes), Hb 10.8<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>g/dl, MCV 84.7, platelets 332<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>000, ESR 54<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mm/h and CRP 48<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mg/dl. Coagulation studies as well as liver and kidney function were within normal limits. Serologic studies for cytomegalovirus, Brucella and Epstein-Barr as well as Mantoux and serial blood cultures were negative. No alterations of tumor markers, antinuclear antibodies, anti-native DNA, ANCA and rheumatoid factor were seen. After measuring cryoglobulins, a 25%–30% cryocrit was obtained (polyclonal–monoclonal pattern) in separate determinations, always with negative rheumatoid factor without complement consumption and negative analysis for hepatitis B and C. The protein profile showed a monoclonal gammopathy of uncertain significance, but dismissed the presence of a lymphoproliferative process, because of no significant alterations in the CBC, no alteration in the bone marrow study and finally, imaging studies (computed tomography and ultrasound) ruled out the presence of nodal and hepatosplenic involvement. The electromyogram showed signs compatible to severe sensory-motor polyneuropathy with greater lower limb involvement, but the pathological examination of biopsied parts of nervous tissue and vascular alterations were not found. The remaining studies, gastroscopy, abdominal ultrasound, echocardiogram, visceral arteriography, chest radiography and electrocardiogram, showed no pathological data.</p><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0005"></elsevierMultimedia><p id="par0030" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The patient received corticosteroids and cyclophosphamide and remained without fever and showed slight improvement of the dysesthesia in the legs.

Nevertheless, dysesthesia persisted, with stabbing pain and vascular disorders of the lower limbs, with amputation of the second and fourth left toe injury due to chronic ischemic necrosis (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0010">Fig. 2</a>) becoming necessary. Given the poor clinical improvement, additional treatments were tried with prostaglandins, bosentan and rituximab, without satisfactory results. Finally, we had to resort to plasmapheresis associated with rituximab, which maintained the cryocrit at 10% but with only partial control of dysesthesias and vascular abnormalities of the lower limbs.</p><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0010"></elsevierMultimedia></span><span id="sec0015" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle">Discussion</span><p id="par0035" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">MC is a relatively rare disease associated with many infections or immunological diseases, with an etiology not yet fully explained.

Despite establishing treatment with glucocorticoids, immunosuppressants, vasodilators and rituximab we did not achieve an effective response, as seen in cases of MC associated with HCV infection, so plasmapheresis sessions were begun, associated with rituximab, which achieved partial control of the disease. It was decided that the patient should receive combination therapy with plasmapheresis and rituximab before the winter as a preventive measure of vascular damage.</p><p id="par0045" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">In terms of clinical manifestations, these can range from a relatively benign course, to dramatic complications that might endanger the life of the patient.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0005"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1,2,9</span></a> The main ones are palpable purpura, systemic symptoms, arthralgias, lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, peripheral neuropathy, hypocomplementemia, bronchiolitis obliterans, glomerulonephritis, Raynaud's phenomenon, livedo reticularis and acrocyanosis, as well as ulcers and necrosis of the skin.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0025"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5,6</span></a> Throughout the progression of our patient, we observed no control of peripheral involvement, which led to necrosis of the second and fourth fingers of the left foot, with subsequent amputation.
