There are many extra hepatic manifestations of Hepatitis C infection including B –cell lymphoproliferative disorders. Mixed cryoglobulinemia (MC) is the most common prototype of B-cell lymphoproliferative disorders. Cryoglobulinemia is an immune complex mediated disease causing multi organ damage with vasculitis being the primary manifestation. We report a case of 50 years old Asian lady having clinically silent chronic liver disease secondary to hepatitis C who presented to us with a purpuric skin rash, joint pains and fatigue. She was confirmed to be a case of mixed cryoglobulinemia. Patient was prescribed direct antiviral agents and prednisolone which improved her condition to a great extent. Heightened awareness of cutaneous manifestations of MC associated with HCV might improve the detection rate of clinically silent HCV infection.</p> Asif Islam Salar Haider Shehroze Tabassum Aroma Naeem Copyright (c) 2024 Asif Islam, MD; Salar Haider, MD; Shehroze Tabassum, MD; Aroma Naeem, MD; https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-09-18 2024-09-18 13 1 10.46570/utjms-2024-800
