Severe aquired haemophilia A treated with recombinant factor VIIa.
British Journal of Haematology 1997 September
Acquired haemophilia can be associated with various conditions including pregnancy, autoimmune diseases and lymphoproliferative disorders, though often no underlying cause is found. It often presents with a rapid onset of muscle bleeding and involves the IgG antibody. It may be treated with human or porcine factor VIII (FVIII), prothrombin complex concentrates, factor IX (FIX) complex concentrates, factor VIIa (FVIIa) or by immunosuppression. We report a case of acquired haemophilia in a 40-year-old woman diagnosed following laparotomy. She was treated unsuccessfully using human FVIII and cryoprecipitate, porcine FVIII and FIX complex concentrate, before being treated with recombinant FVIIa (NovoSeven, Novo Nordisk). On treatment with recombinant FVIIa, bleeding stopped rapidly with no side-effects and the abdominal haematoma was evacuated with minimal post-operative bleeding.
