Autoimmune hemophilia at rescue

Pier Mannuccio Mannucci et al. Haematologica. 2009 Apr.

Abstract

Acquired hemophilia is much more clinically severe than congenital hemophilia, and is more difficult to diagnose, also because cases are seen in an array of clinical settings that are not usually equipped to tackle them. In this perspective article Drs. Mannucci and Peyvandi examine the management of this condition. See related article on page 566.
