Acquired hemophilia A (AHA) is a rare disease characteized by bleeding symptoms caused by decreased factor VIII activity due to the appearance of inhibitors to factor VIII triggered by malignancy or collagen disease. An 86-year-old woman developed purpura on her extremities after the first dose of the BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. This symptom subsided after a few days. After the second dose of the BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, purpura appeared again, and the patient was referred to our hospital Her APTT was remarkably prolonged to 110 seconds, and a cross-mixing test revealed an inhibitor pattern. Since FVIII activity was <1% and FVIII inhibitor was 51.6 BU, she was diagnosed with AHA. Prednisolone therapy was started, and coagulative complete remission was achieved. Because acquired hemophilia can develop after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination, as in this case, it is critical to monitor the appearance of bleeding symptom.
获得性血友病A(AHA)是一种罕见疾病,其特征是由于恶性肿瘤或胶原病引发针对凝血因子VIII的抑制物,导致凝血因子VIII活性降低,从而出现出血症状。一名86岁女性在接种第一剂BNT162b2 mRNA新冠疫苗后,四肢出现紫癜。几天后该症状消退。在接种第二剂BNT162b2 mRNA新冠疫苗后,紫癜再次出现,患者被转诊至我院。她的活化部分凝血活酶时间(APTT)显著延长至110秒,交叉配血试验显示为抑制物模式。由于凝血因子VIII活性<1%且凝血因子VIII抑制物为51.6 Bethesda单位(BU),她被诊断为获得性血友病A。开始使用泼尼松龙治疗,并实现了凝血完全缓解。正如本例所示,由于接种mRNA新冠疫苗后可能发生获得性血友病,因此监测出血症状的出现至关重要。
