Hypergammaglobulinemic purpura and Sjögren's syndrome in a child

Hypergammaglobulinemic purpura of Waldenström and Sjögren's syndrome are rarely reported in children. This paper reports the case of a 12-year-old girl suffering from both diseases. In the serum of this patient the presence of circulating immune complexs was demonstrated, but there was no clinical sign suggesting an immune complexe disease. After a 28-month follow-up no clinical or biological change was observed.
