title: Hypergammaglobulinaemic purpura presenting as reticulate purpura.
abstract: Hypergammaglobulinaemic purpura, first described by Waldenstrom, is a rare skin disease. The essential features are the presence of purpura with polyclonal hypergammaglobulinaemia. We describe a case of hypergammaglobulinaemic purpura occurring in a Chinese man with reticulate purpura and haemorrhagic blisters.
