Acquired hemophilia A (AHA) is a rare bleeding disorder with prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT). Severe hemorrhage may occur, especially in refractory AHA.
We reported a 63-year-old man who suffered from life-threatening bleeding after the onset in lower limbs.
The patient was diagnosed as AHA which was related to pemphigoid.
The patient had no response to the first-line treatment with corticosteroid and cyclophosphamide. Meanwhile, fatal hemorrhage occurred successively in thoracic cavity and right frontal lobe. rFVIIa and rituximab were administered.
The patient survived from the life-threatening hemorrhage with a normal aPTT. His aPTT and FVIII:C level was normal during the follow-up of 6 months.
Rituximab and rFVIIa can play a critical role in rescuing AHA that is refractory to the first-line treatment.
获得性血友病 A(AHA)是一种罕见的出血性疾病,伴有延长的活化部分凝血活酶时间(aPTT)。可能会发生严重出血,尤其是在难治性 AHA 中。
我们报告了一例 63 岁男性患者,下肢发病后出现危及生命的出血。
患者被诊断为与天疱疮相关的 AHA。
该患者对一线治疗(皮质类固醇和环磷酰胺)无反应。同时,胸腔和右额叶相继发生致命性出血。给予 rFVIIa 和利妥昔单抗。
患者从危及生命的出血中存活下来,aPTT 正常。在 6 个月的随访期间,他的 aPTT 和 FVIII:C 水平正常。
利妥昔单抗和 rFVIIa 可在挽救一线治疗无效的 AHA 中发挥关键作用。
