title: [Intestinal vasculitis and glomerulonephritis in hepatitis C- associated cryoglobulinemia].
abstract: In a 53-year-old female patient with recurrent, sometimes bloody diarrhea, the long standing diagnosis of an ANA-negative lupus erythematosus with membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, leucocytoclastic vasculitis and chronic hepatitis was ruled out and the diagnosis of a hepatitis C associated cryoglobulinaemia was established. The origin of the diarrhea was due to intestinal vasculitis as a result of cold food or beverages.
