Abstract
A new case of Reynold's syndrome is reported. This patient was a 70 years old woman with scleroderma (grade II) and PBC (grade III - IV), associated with Sjögren's syndrome and cryoglobulinemia. She experienced 10 years earlier Raynaud's syndrome and arthralgia. A review of the Literature reveals 22 other detailed cases whose data are collected in this study. Considerations upon a common pathophysiology for scleroderma, PBC and Sjögren's syndrome are developed. Impairment of the function of suppressor T cells in patients undergoing these diseases is possible.
