title: [Peripheral neuropathies in essential mixed cryoglobulinemia: influence of positive serology for hepatitis C virus].
abstract: Among 15 patients suffering from peripheral neuropathy, 67% had anti-HCV antibodies. The anti-HCV antibodies positive patients had more severe multiple mono- and poly-neuropathies and more frequent inflammatory neuromuscular infiltrates. In some VHC positive cases, the peripheral neuropathy was efficiently treated by interferon alpha.
