Abstract
The aim of the work is to describe the clinical case of formation, diagnosis and treatment of the acquired form of blood clotting factor VIII deficiency – of acquired hemophilia A.
Material and methods. Patient R., 71 years, from April 2018, was found an acute hemorrhagic syndrome in the hematomic type of large hematomas manifested submandibular region, neck, chest, right breast, pubic and inguinal regions on the right, the anterior-medial surface of the left femur, anterior surface of left tibia. Standard laboratory tests, computed tomography of soft tissues of the neck, lungs, abdomen; coagulogram; blood clotting factors; inhibitor of factor VIII were evaluated in dynamics during the patient’s stay in the hospital; platelet aggregation function.
Results. Typical gematomny type of bleeding, prolongation of coagulation indicators, the presence of the inhibitor factor VIII (7,0 BAA), the decrease in factor VIII (2 %) allowed diagnosis of acquired hemophilia A. Anti-inhibitory coagulant complex, fresh frozen plasma was successfully used for treatment. The patient is under observation in the regional Hematology center. The hematomas were not renewed.
Conclusion. Our clinical observation demonstrates the features of the course, the algorithm of diagnosis and management of patients with of acquired hemophilia A.
