Abstract:
A case of paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria (PCH) occurring in a patient with Klebsiella pneumonia is described. The first sign of PCH in the patient was erythrophagocytosis. The Donath-Landsteiner (D-L) antibody exhibited anti-P specificity both serologically and biochemically. The appearance of D-L antibody during fulminating Klebsiella pneumonia strongly suggests their causal relationship.
