Abstract
Cryoglobulinemia has been described in infectious diseases, but in only three patients with brucellosis. We report a 59-year-old male with Brucella peritonitis with cutaneous vasculitis and renal failure that could be related to mixed cryoglobulinemia. As in cryoglobulinemia associated with other infections, resolution of the disease was obtained with specific antimicrobial therapy.
