A Case of Secondary Pulmonary Hemosiderosis in a severe Hemophilia A with High Titer of FactorVIII Inhibitor
Abstract
- An 18-Year-old male hemophiliac with high titer of factorVIII inhibitor, stage V hemophilic arthropathy in right knee joint and a history of hematuria and retroperitoneal hemorrhage was admitted because of acute and massive bleeding of epistaxis, pulmonary hemorrhage and intestinal bleeding. The bleeing was not controolled by massive infusion of factorVIII concentrates but by prothrombin complex concentrates and high dose of factorVIII concentrates. He showned symptoms of sustained fever and diffuse pulmonary infiltration which was diagnosed as pulmonary hemosiderosis by MRI. We suppressed his immune reaction by prednisolne to prevent the formation of factorVIII inhibitor. He has been followed up for 3 years and shown no massive bleeding there-after.
