Of the six types of dual coagulation factors deficiency, combined factors V and VIII are the most common type, a few cases of this disease have been reported in different populations. This accounts for the relatively low number of cases reported so far. Our report, which included 19 patients, is the second largest group that has been reported from one centre in north-eastern Iran. The most frequent spontaneous bleeding symptoms were epistaxis and haemarthrosis, and the most frequent traumatic bleeding symptoms were bleeding after dental extraction and bleeding after cutting any part of the body. It seemed that dual coagulation FV and FVIII deficiency is as severe as single coagulation factor (V or VIII) deficiency.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
