What is Hemophilia?
Types
Hemophilia A Hemophilia B
Hemophilia A
Coagulation disorder Factor VIII deficiency
Inheritance X-Linked Recessive
Incidence
FACTOR VIII
1unit/ml = 100% Normal range is 50-150%.
Clinical ManifestationsSevere factor VIII deficiency
< 1% activity Frequent spontaneous bleeding
from skin , mucous membrane , joints, muscles and viscera
Moderate Factor VIII deficiency
1-5% activity
Mild Factor VIII deficiency
6-30% activity Trauma surgery
COMMON PRESENTATIONS
UMBLICAL CORD BLEED
CIRCUMCISION BLEED
HEMARTHROSIS
VACCINATION HEMATOMA
Diagnosis
Positive family history APTT is prolonged Clotting time prolonged Bleeding and prothrombin time is normal Factor VIII assay
Complications
Intracranial hemorrhage
Intramuscular hematomas
Hemarthrosis
Infections Related To Blood Transfusion
General Supportive Care
Prevention of trauma Avoid aspirin Immunization
SPECIFIC MANAGEMENT
Normalize factor VIII activity by: Factor VIII concentrate Whole fresh blood Fresh Frozen Plasma Cryoprecipitate
For Life threatening bleed :80-100% activity required For Mild to moderate bleed : 40% activity required
MILD BLEED
Mild Bleed: Desmopressin acetate Oral Bleed: Aminocaproic and tranexamic acid
PREVENTION
Genetic counseling Antenatal diagnosis
PROGNOSIS
Attention is given to child’s : Physical Emotional Social Educational status
Hemophilia B
Factor IX deficiency X-linked recessive APTT prolonged PT and thrombin time normal Diagnosis: Factor IX assay Treatment: Fresh frozen plasma/factor IX administration
Differential diagnosis
Hemophilia A Hemophilia B Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura Platelet function disorder Von willebrand disease

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
MCQS
A 5 year old boy presents to out patient department with complaint of joint swelling after trauma for last 02 days. His lab shows : Platelet count = 170, 000 (150,000 - 400 ,000)Prothrombin Time = 14 :12 secondsActivated Partial Thromboplastin Time = 50:25 seconds
What is most probable diagnosis ?A. Disseminated Intravascular CoagulationB. HemophiliaC. Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic purpuraD. Platelet function disordersE. Von Willebrand Disease
Answer is Hemophilia
A 7 year old boy presents with oral cavity bleed after tooth extraction. On examination , there was no other bleeding except few bruises seen over body. Bleeding time is normal ,Clotting time is raised, Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time is also raised.
Which diagnostic tests should be done ?
A. Bone marrow biopsyB. Factor IX assayC. Factor VIII assayD. Platelet countsE. Von Willebrand assay
Answer is Factor VIII assay
A 10 year old boy I vaccinated according to EPI in infancy, known case of hemophilia. He was diagnosed at the age of 3 years when he had profuse bleeding from the gums . Since then he is being transfused regularly with fresh frozen plasma. Now he developed jaundice with hepatomegaly.
What is therapy related complication in this scenario ?
A. Hepatitis BB. Human immunodeficiency virusC. Hepatocellular carcinomaD. Hepatitis CE. Wilsons disease
Answer is Hepatitis C
A 3 year boy old presents with bleeding from dental cavity. During the hospital admission he was diagnosed as a case of Hemophilia.
What is the first line of management ?
A. Fresh frozen plasmaB. Factor VIII administrationC. Packed red blood cellsD. Platelets transfusionE. Whole blood transfusion
Answer is Factor VIII administration
SEQS
A 2 year old child presents to out patient department with complaints of gum bleeds. On examination, the child is active ,vitally stable and oral cavity shows minor bleed from gums. Rest of systemic examination is non significant
Lab investigation shows Hemoglobin = 11.5 g/dl TLC = 6000/ cmm Platelets = 200 000 Bleeding time = 1 to 2 seconds Prothrombin Time = normal Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time = prolonged Clotting Time = prolonged
What is most probable diagnosis ?
Hemophilia
What further investigations you would like to do to confirm diagnosis ?
Factor VIII & Factor IX assays
What supportive measures should be taken to prevent bleed ?
Supportive measures are ; Avoid trauma Anticipatory guidance like seat belts , car seats , bike helmets etc Avoid violent contact sports Avoid aspirin and NSAIDS Avoid intramuscular injections
