Hemophilia a group of bleeding disorders characterized
by difficulty controlling bleeding. Bleeding time is extended due to lack
of a factor required for blood to clot. Bleeding is internal or external.
Bleeding tendencies are sometimes recognized during infancy
following circumcision, but might not become apparent until the infant
becomes more active and prone to injuries during the toddler years.
This disorder varies in severity based on the percentage of clotting
factor a child's body contains. For example,
a child who has a mild form of the disorder can have up to 49% of the
normal factor VIII in his body, while a child who has a severe form of the
disorder has very little factor VIII. It is an X-linked recessive disorder
Hemophilia A referred to as "classic hemophilia"; characterized by deficicency of
factor VIII; accounts for 80% of cases
Hemophilia B referred to as "Christmas Disease"; characterized by deficiency of factor
IX
