An example of von Willebrand's disease in a Papua New Guinean female is described; this is believed to be the first time that this disorder has been documented in a Melanesian. Some salient features of the diagnosis and management of the disease are discussed. Bleeding disorders in Papua New Guinea have been found with increasing frequency in recent years, and it is not unreasonable to expect that their true incidence will be similar to those seen elsewhere.
本文描述了一名巴布亚新几内亚女性患血管性血友病的病例；据信这是该疾病首次在美拉尼西亚人中被记录。文中讨论了该疾病诊断和治疗的一些显著特征。近年来，在巴布亚新几内亚发现出血性疾病的频率越来越高，可以合理预期其实际发病率与其他地方所见相似。
