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
A 25-year-old man with hemophilia A who had received concentrated plasma and plasma factor VIII products since childhood presented with a productive cough and a fever. The CD4/CD8 ratio of peripheral lymphocyte subsets was very low and the serum was positive for anti-HIV antibodies. The chest
BACKGROUND
Mild hemophilia without spontaneous bleeding can remain undiagnosed for a lifetime. However, intracranial hemorrhage is one of the most serious complications for patients with hemophilia. In addition, hemorrhagic complications after emergency surgery tend to arise from
OBJECTIVE
The pharmacokinetic (PK) study of recombinant human factor IX (rFIX) has been done in patients with hemophilia B in areas other than Taiwan. However, wide patient-related variability in recovery is noted and there is no PK study of rFIX in Taiwanese patients with hemophilia B. The purpose
BACKGROUND
Patients with haemophilia are prone to medical emergencies. Emergency departments (ED) often do not have a haematologist on-call for consultation.
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to determine the utilization of ED by patients with haemophilia.
METHODS
Retrospective review of the
BACKGROUND
Prospectively collected, real-world data on bleeds, haemophilic treatment and safety outcomes in persons with haemophilia A (PwHA) with factor VIII (FVIII) inhibitors are limited. A prospective, global, multi-centre, non-interventional study (NIS; NCT02476942) collected detailed
Severe cellular immunosuppression developed in a 25-year-old man with hemophilia B who was infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Four days after administration of sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim (SMX-TMP) for prophylaxis against Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP), diffuse uptake of
BACKGROUND
B19 parvovirus is a widespread virus whose typical manifestations in immunocompetent children are erythema infectiosum, acute erythroblastopenia and fetal anemia.
METHODS
An 11 year-old immunocompetent patient with hemophilia A was referred for an hemorrhagic syndrome. Forty days after a
Six hemophilia patients previously seronegative for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) seroconverted between September 1986 and September 1987. None had risk factors for HIV infection other than hemophilia. We compared the factor concentrates received by these patients with the concentrates received
Three patients with severe hemophilia and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection seropositive for virus antibody, presented with thrombocytopenia. Treatment with prednisolone, danazol (in one patient) and intravenous gammaglobulin, produced only transient responses. In one case, danazol
Four of the 139 children with hemophilia followed up at our center have developed septic arthritis during the past 6 years (2.9% incidence). Two infections were caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae and one each by Staphylococcus aureus and Haemophilus influenzae type B. Common features at time of
In severe haemophilia A, patients, start from the first years of life, with spontaneous bleeding and require transfusion. However, cardiac tamponade due to spontaneous pericardial bleeding is rare. An 11-year-old boy receiving haemophilia A treatment was referred to the Department of Paediatric
Hemophilia A is an X-linked bleeding disorder, caused by deficient or defective blood coagulation factor VIII. The most characteristic symptoms of the severe forms of hemophilia A are joint and muscle bleeds. Intracranial hemorrhage occurs only in 3-10% of the patients. Spinal epidural hematomas are
A 12-year-old boy with severe hemophilia A fell ill with high fever and painful swelling of joints. There was a delay of four days in the diagnosis of septic arthritis. The course of the disease shows some important distinguishing criteria, speaking in favour of septic arthritis: 1. longlasting
