Inhibitor to factor VIII in mild haemophilia. 1984

P J Kesteven, and L J Holland, and A S Lawrie, and G F Savidge

Factor VIII inhibitors in mild haemophilia are uncommon and the management of such patients is controversial. The development of a persistently high responding F VIII inhibitor in a mild haemophiliac is reported and the behaviour of the inhibitor discussed in the context of the various therapeutic regimes employed for symptomatic management. When inhibitor titres were low, endogenous F VIII stimulation, by DDAVP, was less immunogenic than the administration of exogenous F VIII concentrates. This inhibitor displayed characteristics of an autoantibody, and was characterised as an immunoglobulin of IgG subtype.

D005169 Factor VIII Factor VIII of blood coagulation. Antihemophilic factor that is part of the factor VIII/von Willebrand factor complex. Factor VIII is produced in the liver and acts in the intrinsic pathway of blood coagulation. It serves as a cofactor in factor X activation and this action is markedly enhanced by small amounts of thrombin.
