Abstract
This article discusses a case study of a 75-year-old woman with type 1 cryoglobulinaemia, a rare condition characterized by the presence of abnormal proteins in the blood. The woman initially presented with a vasculitic rash and polyarthritis, which progressed to skin ulcers and retinopathy. She was treated with various medications, including methylprednisone and cyclophosphamide, but experienced complications such as pancytopenia and pseudomonal septicaemia. The article emphasizes the importance of ongoing monitoring and multidisciplinary involvement in managing systemic manifestations of cryoglobulinaemia. [Extracted from the article]
