Macrohematuria as initial presentation in a girl with factor VIII and factor IX inhibitors associated with systemic lupus erythematosus.
2012
: Acquired hemophilia is rarely observed in a pediatric population. We report a case of a 14-year-old girl presented with ecchymoses and macrohematuria. She developed factor VIII and factor IX inhibitors, and was diagnosed with simultaneous acquired hemophilia and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Recombinant-activated FVII and corticosteroid were prescribed due to macrohematuria-related hypovolemia and anemia, which resolved satisfactorily. This case is a reminder that the rare concurrent presence of factor VIII and factor IX inhibitors could be associated with SLE in a pediatric population. Children with SLE-associated-acquired hemophilia may develop macrohematuria as well.
