Abstract
The authors report on a new case of Franklin's disease; the originality of which lies in the fact that it was associated with hypothyroïdism and mainly with B virus chronic active hepatitis. It seems likely that chronic antigenic stimulation during active hepatitis played role in the pathogenesis of the monoclonal gammapathy.
