Abstract

We describe a case of exacerbated mixed cryoglobulinemia in a patient previously treated with alpha-interferon, for chronic active hepatitis. The possible pathogenesis of this exacerbated mixed cryoglobulinemia and the relationship between cytokines, hepatitis viral infections and immune reactions is discussed.
