We report the case of a 63-year old women with toe gangrene, peripheral polyneuropathy, polyarthritis, histologically proven necrotizing vasculitis, in association with type III mixed cryoglobulinemia and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Raised anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL) were found, without beta 2-glycoprotein I. HCV infection is associated with mixed cryoglobulinemia which can cause a vasculitis affecting various organs. The pathogenesis of production and clinical significance of aCL could be associated in this case with HCV infection.
我们报告了一例63岁女性患者,患有趾坏疽、周围性多神经病、多关节炎,组织学证实为坏死性血管炎,同时伴有III型混合性冷球蛋白血症和丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)感染。发现抗心磷脂抗体(aCL)升高,且无β2糖蛋白I。HCV感染与混合性冷球蛋白血症相关,后者可导致影响多个器官的血管炎。在该病例中,aCL产生的发病机制及临床意义可能与HCV感染有关。
