Cryoglobulinemia due to Hepatitis C with Pulmonary Renal Syndrome
Cryoglobulinemia is an uncommon condition typically due to hepatitis C infection. Its clinical presentation is varied and often reflects deposition of immune complex and complement deposition. Renal compromise is observed in approximately one third of patients with mixed cryoglobulinemia and reports of concomitant pulmonary involvement are quite rare. We report a case of a patient who presented...

متن کاملMPGN and mixed cryoglobulinemia in a patient with hepatitis C – new treatment implications and renal outcomes
. INTRODUCTION The association of hepatitis C virus (HCV), cryoglobulinemia, and membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) is well known. Treatment of underlying HCV infection has greatly improved in recent years with the introduction of direct-acting antivirals (DAA), which have demonstrated curative sustained viral response (SVR) rates for select viral genotypes with the added benefit...
متن کاملHepatitis C Virus Infection and Mixed Cryoglobulinemia
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) chronic infection is recognized as the major cause of mixed cryoglobulinemia (MC). Its persistence represents a continuous stimulus for host immune system with production of circulating immune complexes (ICs), one-third of them with cryoprecipitate property. Several factors contribute to the biological activities of ICs, many of which are not completely known. Among them...

gal thyroiditis caused by Aspergillus. Blood vessels were invaded by the hyphae of the fungus (Figure 1). A culture of the aspirated fluid showed no growth. The results of repeated tests with an Aspergillus antigen (galactomannan) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were negative. There was no evidence of aspergillosis in the other organs. Blood and sputum cultures were negative. Intraven...
