summary Eleven of thirty‐two patients with cutaneous vasculitis had anticomplementary sera. Five of the eleven anticomplementary sera contained immune complexes in the form of mixed cryoglobulins. The anticomplementary activity in the sera of these patients suggests that the vasculitis may be due to circulating immune complexes.
