BENITEZ ESPINOLA, Alexis Antonio; RUIZ DIAZ ROS, Leda Liz y DUARTE SANTACRUZ, Gabriela Monserrat. Acquired hemophilia A. Rev. virtual Soc. Parag. Med. Int. [online]. 2023, vol.10, n.2, pp.129-132. Epub 30-Sep-2023. ISSN 2312-3893. https://doi.org/10.18004/rvspmi/2312-3893/2023.10.02.129.
Acquired hemophilia is a hemostatic disorder caused by the presence of inhibitory autoantibodies against coagulation F VIII. Clinically it presents as spontaneous bleeding, mainly in the skin and soft tissues, and unlike congenital hemophilia, hemarthrosis is rare.
We present the case of a 60-year-old male patient, previously healthy, who came to the clinic due to an 8-day history of hematomas on the upper and lower limbs. During its evolution it presents prolonged APTT and low concentrations of F VIII.
Palabras clave : factor VIII; hemophilia A; blood coagulation disorders.
