Abstract
Mixed cryoglobulinaemia vasculitis (MCV) is a systemic vasculitis of the small and medium-size vessels caused by active hepatitis C (HCV) infection in >80% of cases. Beuthien et al. presented the first case of MCV with undetectable HCV after 10 months of therapy. In the last few years, more authors have described other cases of symptomatic MCV after 1 year of persistent HCV eradication. Here, we present a case report of a 57-year-old man who developed MCV with renal involvement after 3 years of HCV eradication with interferon therapy.
