Cryoglobulinaemic vasculitis is an immune-complex-mediated, systemic inflammatory syndrome usually involving small-to-medium vessels due to precipitation of cryoglobulins at <37°C. It can involve any organ but most commonly affects the skin. Associated conditions include infections (hepatitis C and HIV), haematological disorders (chronic lymphocytic lymphoma, monoclonal gammopathy of uncertain significance and multiple myeloma), autoimmune conditions (systemic lupus erythematosus and Sjogren syndrome) or as a complication following vaccination (influenza, pneumococcal and hepatitis B vaccines). Biochemical hallmarks include detection of serum cryoglobulin with low C4 levels. We describe a case of previous healthy patient with transient cryoglobulinaemic vasculitis after first dose of ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine (AstraZeneca/Oxford).
