Chronic hemolytic anemia due to cold agglutinins: the mechanism of resistance of red cells to C' hemolysis by cold agglutinins.
The red cells of patients with chronic hemolytic anemia due to cold agglutinins are agglutinated by antiglobulin serum in a nongamma reaction due to the coating of beta-globulins, C'4 and C'3. The red cells of such patients are abnormally resistant to C' hemolysis by cold agglutinin. Normal red cells can be made equally resistant to C' hemolysis by incubation with cold agglutinin and normal ser...
متن کاملChronic Hemolytic Anemia Due to Cold
A male, 47, developed chronic hemolytic anemia in association with hi9h titers of cold agglutinins in 1 966. His symptpm of the cold agglutinin syndrome began in 1 951 with cyanosis of the extremities nd face after exposure to cold. In 1 956, hemoglobinuna was first noted after chilling. In 1 962, the cold agglutinin titer was 1 : 1 6,000, and his red cells were coated with complement globulins...

متن کاملProblems of Cold Agglutinins in Cardiac Surgery: How to Manage Cardiopulmonary Bypass and Myocardial Protection
Cold agglutinins are of unique relevance in cardiac surgerybecause of the use of hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Cold autoimmune diseases are defined by the presence of abnormal circulating proteins (usually IgM or IgA antibodies) that agglutinate in response to a decrease in body temperature. These disorders include cryoglobulinemia and cold hemagglutinin disease.Immunoglobulin M aut...
