A new cryopathic syndrome.
One case of a syndrome simulating a systemic disease is reported. An HLA-B, patient presented with apparent toxoplasmosis, retinal vein occlusion, autoantibodies against cephalin, contact factors and lipoproteins, immune complexes, rheumatoid factor, and cryoprecipitate. A representation of the immunological mechanisms involved is proposed.
