Case Reports
[Spontaneous post-partum inhibitor to factor VIII clotting anti- gen--a cause of life-threatening hemorrhage].
Pathologic inhibitors of blood coagulation as cause of acquired haemostatic failure are rare. We report about a 23 years old primigravida with a life-threatening haemorrhage post partum. ⋯ We reacted successfully with cyclophosphamid and cryoprecipitated factor VIII. References to diagnostic and therapy of pathologic clotting factor inhibitors are described.
