Acquired hemophilia is a relatively rare clinical presentation, and most cases present with acquired FVIII inhibitor. The co-occurrence of inhibitors to multiple coagulation factors is uncommon. These autoantibodies may induce spontaneous life-threatening bleeding in patients who have had no previous bleeding disorder. Herein, we present a patient with postpartum acquired FVIII and FIX inhibitors who developed intramuscular hematoma and hemothorax during follow-up. She was then treated with activated prothrombin complex concentrate and methylprednisolone.
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.
