Abstract

Acquired hemophilia is a rare but potentially fatal clinical condition requiring clinical suspicion to reach to a diagnosis, especially in elder patients. This diagnosis should be suspected in patients that present with unexplained persistent bleeding from skin, soft tissues, and mucosa and have a prolonged aPTT.

Keywords: Acquired hemophilia; bleeding; case report; coagulation; factor VIII
