Paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria, first described by Dresler in 1854, is characterized by the fact that after cooling a chill sets in and the temperature rises to 39-40 with all the sensations accompanying this state. Then there are pains in the lumbar region and in the abdomen, frequent urge to urinate with cramps, nausea, vomiting. At the height of the fever or soon after the temperature drops, dark urine (the color of black coffee or strong tea) begins to be secreted. The skin is pale, with an icteric tinge. The attack ends in 6-12 hours, sometimes after 1-3 days.
