A 24-year old patient with severe haemophilia A and chronic hepatitis C developed two weeks after transjugular liver biopsy (TJLB) haemobilia with colicky upper abdominal pain, coffee ground emesis, melaena and anaemia. Abdominal ultrasound and endoscopic retrograde cholangiogram confirmed the
BACKGROUND
Determining the appropriate evaluation for a pediatric patient with hemophilia and head trauma is a diagnostic challenge with no neuroimaging guidelines and limited clinical evidence to direct care.
METHODS
A questionnaire, with two case scenarios, was emailed to members of the American
Reports of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in patients with hemophilia B are relatively rare. We describe the first clinical results of the use of a monoclonal antibody purified factor IX (FIX) concentrate (Mononine) after an ICH and the long-term outcome of prophylaxis with this product to prevent
We report our experience with the incidence of adverse events during the use of Stimate brand intranasal desmopressin acetate (IN DDAVP) for patients with haemophilia A (HA) or von Willebrand disease (vWD) after noting two severe adverse events in one adult patient. All patients with documented vWD
A case of ruptured cerebral aneurysm with hemophilia B is reported, and discussion is made concerning the management of mild type hemophilia in surgical operations. A 41-year-old male came to our hospital with complaints of severe headache, vomiting, and transient consciousness disturbance. His
A seventeen-year-old man with hemophilia A developed nausea, vomiting, and unsteady gait after mild head trauma. Magnetic resonance imaging clearly demonstrated localized bleeding in cerebellar vermis. Quick administration of factor VIII concentrates prevented further extension of the bleeding and
A case is reported of minor hemobilia in a patient with hemophilia. The form of presentation of the clinical picture with abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and jaundice suggested a biliary origin and echographic evidence of an anomalous content in the bile tract that was not of lithiasic nature
The haemophilias are a group of inherited haemostatic disorders that require regular clotting factor replacement therapy in the severe and moderately severe subgroups. Prior to the introduction of adequate viral inactivation methods in 1985, haemophilia patients were at exceptionally high risk of
BACKGROUND
Dengue fever is the most rapidly spreading mosquito-borne viral disease in the world. Haemophilia A is the commonest inherited bleeding disorder. There is little data on the incidence and outcome of dengue in patients with haemophila. We report a case of a patient with severe haemophila
BACKGROUND
The main complication of patients with severe hemophilia is recurrent bleeding events that usually affected musculoskeletal contractures. And replacement therapy methods were continuously improved to minimize adverse impacts brought by those complications. However, only several cases
OBJECTIVE
Eradication of hepatitis C virus (HCV) is particularly difficult in patients with hemophilia. In this open, prospective, multicenter trial, the efficacy and tolerability of the combination therapy with pegylated interferon alpha2b (Peg-IFNalpha2b) plus ribavirin was evaluated in 64 human
Five of 34 hemophiliac children suffered from nine episodes of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) from hemophilia A, and another 3 were B hemophiliacs. Diagnoses were confirmed by computed tomographic scan in all nine episodes. The ages of the patients with ICH ranged from 3 months to 4 1/2 years. The
BACKGROUND
Haemophilia is one of the most common inherited bleeding disorders in the Emergency Department (ED). The most dangerous site of bleeding is the central nervous system.
OBJECTIVE
To describe the characteristics of haemophiliacs arrived to our ED following a head trauma and to analyse the
About 2.5 billion people are living at a higher risk of dengue fever in hundreds of tropical and sub-tropical countries. Treatment of dengue fever is quite complicated and challenging because of the lack of effective treatment approaches. We herein report a rare case of a 25-year-old female with a
BACKGROUND
The moderate hemophiliacs usually have no spontaneous bleeding, but bleed after minor or major trauma. The proper management of intracranial hemorrhage in hemophiliac children is a challenge.
METHODS
An 18-month-old male infant with moderate hemophilia A was admitted with fever, vomiting,
