ACUTE RENAL FAILURE IN THE COLD-AGGLUTINATION SYNDROME

Two cases of primary atypical pneumonia with resulting cold-agglutination syndrome are described. The organisms responsible were Myco-plasma pneumoniœ in one patient and an adenovirus in the other. Both developed acute renal failure which was successfully managed by hæmodialysis in one case and peri...

Zusammenfassung:Two cases of primary atypical pneumonia with resulting cold-agglutination syndrome are described. The organisms responsible were Myco-plasma pneumoniœ in one patient and an adenovirus in the other. Both developed acute renal failure which was successfully managed by hæmodialysis in one case and peritoneal dialysis in the other. The importance of warming to a physiological level transfused blood and the dialysate used for peritoneal dialysis or hæmodialysis is emphasised.
