Abstract
Two patients with hyperglobulinemia associated with purpura were studied. One had features of Sjogren''s syndrome, while the other appeared to have a primary condition.sbd.chronic benign purpura. Both patients also had renal tubular acidosis, osteomalacia and renal calculi, with disturbed Ca metabolism and acid-base balance. Autoantibodies were detected in the serum of both patients, and mononuclear cell infiltrates were noted in skin and kidney biopsies from both.
