Dressler's syndrome
Related people
Intermittent haemoglobinuria observed in haemolytic disorders. In some patients frequent episodes induced by minor cold exposure; in others, rare attacks induced by exposure to very low temperature. Both sexes affected; onset at all ages.
Some authors have Donath-Landsteiner syndrome as a synonym for this disease. Donath-Landsteiner has been entered here as a separate entity, under Julius Donath, Austrian internist, 1870-1950.
