Abstract
Hypergammaglobulinaemic purpura, first described by Waldenstrom, is a rare skin disease. The essential features are the presence of purpura with polyc lonal hypergammaglobulinaemia. We describe a case of hypergammaglobulinaemi c purpura occurring in a Chinese man with reticulate purpura and haemorrhag ic blisters.
