| pyrogallic acid | <chemistry> A phenol metameric with phloroglucin, obtained by the distillation of gallic acid as a poisonous white crystalline substance having acid properties, and hence called also pyrogallic acid. It is a strong reducer, and is used as a developer in photography and in the production of certain dyes. Origin: Pyrogallic + -ol. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |

| pyroglobulins | Atypical gamma immunoglobulins characterised by their irreversible heat denaturation at 56-degrees c. Pyroprecipitation is inhibited at pH below 3 and above 9. The presence of pyroglobulins in the serum is the cause of pyroglobulinaemia. They are frequently present in multiple myeloma and the pyroglobulin precipitate binds complement, reacts with rheumatoid factor, produces passive cutaneous anaphylaxis, generalised passive anaphylaxis and passive arthus-type phenomena.
