title: Cryofibrinogenaemia: a case report.
abstract: A case of chronic acral ulceration is described in a 54-year-old man with cryofibrinogenaemia. Initial management with prednisolone and azathioprine was unsuccessful in controlling the disease. Introduction of a programme of plasmapheresis in addition to treatment with cyclophosphamide and prednisolone has brought about marked improvement.
