We report the case of a 63-year old women with toe gangrene, peripheral polyneuropathy, polyarthritis, histologically proven necrotizing vasculitis, in association with type III mixed cryoglobulinemia and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Raised anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL) were found, without beta 2-glycoprotein I. HCV infection is associated with mixed cryoglobulinemia which can cause a vasculitis affecting various organs. The pathogenesis of production and clinical significance of aCL could be associated in this case with HCV infection.
