Abstract
Hypergammaglobulinemic purpura of Waldenstrom and Sjogren''s syndrome are rarely reported in children. The case of a 12 yr old girl suffering from both diseases is reported. The presence of circulating immune complexes was demonstrated in the patient''s serum, but there was no clinical sign suggesting an immune complex disease. After a 28 mo. follow-up no clinical or biological change was observed.
