48
Q

PCH AKA

A

Paroxysmal Cold Hemoglobinuria

49
Q

PCH Etiology

A
  • most frequently seen in childer with antecedent upper respiratory viral, mycoplasma, bacteria infection or immunization
  • secondary to untreated tertiary syphilis but is exceedingly rare
  • rarely secondary to aggressive lymphomas
50
Q

PCH Pathogenesis

4 listed

A
  • Infection triggers formation of polyclonal biphasic IgG (Donath-Landsteiner antibody) that corss react with P antigen on the RBC membrane
  • IgG attaches to RBCs in cold temperatures in the extremities forming P-anti-P antigen-antibody complexes which are potent activators of complement
  • When the complex returns to a warmer central circulation the complement system activates the MAC and causes intravascular hemolysis
  • Usually a sudden onset with massive hemolysis
