Haemophilia A affects about 1 in 5,000–10,000, while haemophilia B affects about 1 in 40,000 males at birth. [2] [5] As haemophilia A and B are both X-linked recessive disorders, females are rarely severely affected. [8] Some females with a nonfunctional gene on one of the X chromosomes may be mildly symptomatic. [8]

[4] [10] The prolongation of the activated partial thromboplastin time should completely correct with a 1:1 mixing study with normal plasma if haemophilia C is present; in contrast, if a lupus anticoagulant is present as the cause of a prolonged aPTT, the aPTT will not correct with a 1:1 mixing study.

X chromosome. The factor IX gene is located on the X chromosome (Xq27.1-q27.2). It is an X-linked recessive trait, which explains why males are affected in greater numbers. [9] [10] A change in the F9 gene, which makes blood clotting factor IX (9), causes haemophilia B. [11]
Hemophilia A: Protein structure of coagulation factor VIII, of which its deficiency is the cause of haemophilia A. Specialty: Haematology: Symptoms: Prolonged bleeding from common injuries [1] Causes: Factor VIII deficiency [2] Diagnostic method: Bleeding time, [2] coagulation screen, genetic testing: Prevention: Hepatitis B vaccine should be ...
Acquired haemophilia A (AHA) is a rare but potentially life-threatening bleeding disorder characterized by autoantibodies directed against coagulation factor VIII.These autoantibodies constitute the most common spontaneous inhibitor to any coagulation factor and may induce spontaneous bleeding in patients with no previous history of a bleeding disorder.
Contaminated hemophilia blood products were a serious public health problem in the late 1970s up to 1985. Hemophilia A causes a deficiency in Factor VIII, a protein required for blood clotting. Factor VIII injections are a common treatment to prevent or stop bleeding in people with hemophilia A. [1]
H. influenzae is a small Gram-negative bacterium, approximately 0.3 micrometer to 1 micrometer. [12] Like other Gram-negative bacteria, H. influenzae has a thin peptidoglycan layer surrounded by an outer membrane containing lipopolysaccharide. [13]
