title: [The use of interferon-beta in the treatment of essential mixed cryoglobulinemia].
abstract: The authors report two cases of essential mixed cryoglobulinemia (EMC) manifested by purpura, fatigue and arthralgia. After a corticosteroid treatment which proved a complete failure, beta-interferon therapy was started. This caused rapid improvement of the clinical picture without relevant side effects.
