Paroxysmal cold haemoglobinuria and measles.
With the increasing control of congenital syphilis, paroxysmal cold haemoglobinuria has become a very rare disorder in childhood. Cases which occur now are more likely to be associated with acute infectious diseases (Kissmeyer-Nielsen and Schleisner, 1963). However, despite the frequency of measles in children, paroxysmal cold haemoglobinuria (PCH) has only previously been described as a compli...
متن کاملSyphilitic paroxysmal cold haemoglobinuria. Case report and study of the Coombs test.
A case of congenital syphilis which presented with paroxysmal cold haemoglobinuria is described. The patient had aortic incompetence, and the significance of this finding is discussed. The Coombs test was studied, and positive results appear to be due to interaction between antiglobulin serum and complement adsorbed on to the test cells, this adsorption being promoted by the cold antibodies.
متن کاملIdiopathic non-syphilitic paroxysmal cold haemoglobinuria in children.
Three examples of non-syphilitic paroxysmal cold haemoglobinuria (PCH) in children are described which occurred, within a period of 16 days, in association with a febrile illness. No definite viral aetiology or obvious epidemiological association could be established. A Donath-Landsteiner antibody of anti-P specificity was demonstrated in all three patients. The serological aspects of PCH are c...
متن کاملDiagnostic difficulties in a patient with paroxysmal cold haemoglobinuria and acute kidney injury
Paroxysmal cold haemoglobinuria (PCH) is a form of autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA) characterised by a sudden onset of haemoglobinuria, either spontaneously or following exposure to cold. In children, it is commonly seen following a viral illness or after immunisation. Diagnosis of PCH is confirmed by a positive Donath Landsteiner (DL) test in which biphasic haemolysins are detected. Howeve...
متن کاملRenal transplantation for end-stage renal disease due to paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria.
Paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH) is characterized by nocturnal haemoglobinuria, haemolytic anaemia, and thrombosis [ 1]. Most patients have anatomical and functional renal abnormalities, although renal function deterioration often remains unrecognized. The pathogenesis could be related to iron deposition or to repeated vascular thrombosis. The present case illustrates that renal trans...
