The pathology of disease

Paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria (PCH) is a rare disease characterized by sudden hemoglobinuria after systemic or local cold exposure. Hemolysis is usually triggered by cold, but triggers may be subtle. Onset occurs minutes to hours later with brief chills and fever.

Common Symptoms

Dark urine after cold exposure; chills; fever; abdominal pain; anemia

Causes and Pathogenesis

Donath-Landsteiner antibody (IgG) binds RBCs at low temperature and fixes complement; on rewarming, complement-mediated intravascular hemolysis occurs. Often post-infectious (syphilis, viral) in children.

Treatment

Avoid cold; supportive care; treat underlying infection

Preventive Measures

Avoid cold exposure; keep warm; treat associated infections/syphilis.
