title: Waldenström's hyperglobulinemic purpura: an unusual immune complex disorder.
abstract: A case of Waldenström's hypergammaglobulinemic purpura in a 37-year old woman is presented. The symptomatology was very mild and confined only to the skin, despite very high quantities of circulating immune complexes which were found in her serum. The unusual manifestations of Waldenstrom's purpura compared to other immune complex disorders is discussed.
