ABSTRACT
Se presenta el caso de un paciente de 47 años con antecedente de artritis psoriásica (AP) de 9 años de evolución en quien se encuentra compromiso renal, hipocomplementemia, neuropatía periférica, lesiones necróticas acrales y crioglobulinas positivas. Luego de realizar el abordaje diagnóstico se concluye que el cuadro clínico corresponde a una vasculitis crioglobulinémica concomitante a la AP. Se expone además del caso una revisión de la literatura referente a la presencia de estas 2 enfermedades en un solo paciente
We report the case of a 47-year-old man with a 9-year history of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in whom we detected renal involvement, hypocomplementemia, peripheral neuropathy, acral necrotic lesions and positive cryoglobulins. The results of the diagnosis led us to conclude that the clinical picture corresponded to cryoglobulinemic vasculitis concomitant with PsA. In addition, we present a review of the literature on the presence of these two diseases in a single patient
