Abstract
In a 53-year-old female patient with recurrent, sometimes bloody diarr hea, the long standing diagnosis of an ANA-negative lupus erythematosu s with membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, leucocytoclastic vasc ulitis and chronic hepatitis was ruled out and the diagnosis of a hepa titis C associated cryoglobulinaemia was established. The origin of th e diarrhea was due to intestinal vasculitis as a result of cold food o r beverages.
