  • Title: Hyperviscosity syndrome in a patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
    Author: Martin CM, Matlow AG, Chew E, Sutton D, Pruzanski W.
    Journal: Arch Intern Med; 1989 Jun; 149(6):1435-6. PubMed ID: 2730264.
    Abstract:
    The hyperviscosity syndrome is most commonly seen in association with monoclonal gammopathies and has only rarely been described in association with polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia. We have recently seen a patient with known acquired immunodeficiency syndrome who presented with the hyperviscosity syndrome in the setting of polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of a patient with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and the hyperviscosity syndrome. The case is presented and the pathogenesis and implications of this diagnosis are discussed.
