Clinical spectrum of viral infections in hemophilic patients. 1992

M C Telfer
Department of Medicine, University of Illinois, Chicago.

Although both hemophilia A and B do not impair immunity, the use of human blood products to treat bleeding has resulted in a potential exposure to numerous viral agents. The course of infections with HIV, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C are described in this article, with comments on the interaction of these viruses in the hemophilic host. The impact of these infections on the family and community is also described.
