 ==Causes==
-PCH can be an after effect of an infection, when a microorganism triggers the formation of antibodies that cross-react with the P antigen on the red blood cell membrane.  Viral infections that can cause PCH include  [[measles]], [[mumps]], [[influenza]], [[Adenoviridae|adenovirus]],[[chickenpox]], [[cytomegalovirus]], and [[Epstein-Barr virus]].  Bacterial infections that can cause PCH include [[syphilis]],''[[Haemophilus influenzae]]'' and ''[[Mycoplasma pneumoniae]]''.  PCH can also be a side effect of some vaccinations.  Chronic [[idiopathic]](of unknown cause) PCH also occurs, but it is rare.
