Title: Role of Therapeutic Plasma Exchange in Resolution of Hyperhemolysis in a Patient Living with HIV/AIDS (PLHA) Diagnosed with Paroxysmal Cold Haemoglobinuria: A Case Report†Cord-id: nekvatpc Document date: 2020_11_22
ID: nekvatpc
Snippet: Paroxysmal cold haemoglobinuria (PCH) is an acquired cause of haemolytic anaemia. It is caused by the biphasic IgG antibodies that sensitize and attach the red cells at lower temperature; detach and rebind on rewarming. Donath-Landsteiner antibody test is the diagnostic test for PCH. Management of PCH mainly includes supportive care but sometimes disease becomes severe and life-threatening. We describe a similar severe and life-threatening case of PCH who was managed by plasma exchange followed
