  • Title: [The cryopathies].
    Author: Rønnov-Jessen AD, Birgens HS.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 1990 Mar 19; 152(12):799-803. PubMed ID: 2316034.
    Abstract:
    The term cryopathies includes conditions in which abnormal sensitivity to cold is a prominent feature and includes the cold agglutinin syndrome, the cold hemolysin syndrome, the cold urticarias, the cryoglobulinemias, and cryofibrinogenemia. The cryopathies may be secondary to lymphoproliferative, autoimmune, and infectious diseases, but in many patients no underlying disease can be found (essential cryopathy). Avoidance of cold is of prime importance in all patients. Underlying disease should be treated, if possible. Severe therapeutic problems may arise in patients with essential cryopathies.
