    Abstract:
    A report is presented of a rare case of B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and severe exacerbation of cryoglobulinic vasculitis which developed in a female patient with chronic hepatitis C four years after achievement of a persistent virusological response to antivirus treatment. Causes of a specific course of the disease and development of the tumor in the absence of HCV in blood serum are discussed: latent HCV-infection in immune cells with persistent antigenic stimulation of B-lymphocytes, possibility of HCV-independent lymphoproliferation.
