The ionic contribution to the Equation of State (EOS) of a multicomponent plasma of nuclei in the nuclear statistical equilibrium regime is studied, and a method to compute the coulombic corrections within the framework of the linear mixing hyphothesis is proposed. Some consequences of including these corrections in the EOS are briefly analysed in relation with two concrete astrophysical scenarios, the Supernovae Ia explosion and the Accretion Induced Collapse of a massive white dwarf.
