title: Essential mixed cryoglobulinemia: a report on 14 cases.
abstract: Fourteen cases of Essential Mixed Cryoglobulinemia (EMC) are described in this report. Clinical and laboratory manifestations in our patients were similar to those previously reported in literature, although involvement of the peripheral nervous system was much more prevalent in our series. We suggest that peripheral neuropathy should be systematically searched in EMC patients.
