[Acquired factor VII inhibitor: treatment using high-dose immunoglobulins, corticotherapy and plasma exchange].
1988
A 62 year old man presented a diffuse hemorrhagic syndrome related to the presence of an acquired factor VII inhibitor (proconvertin). Autoantibodies were of the IgG class and no subjacent disease was detected during a 7-month follow up. Treatment with high-dose polyvalent immunoglobulins was ineffective, and the onset of an intracerebral hemorrhage required therapy by a series of plasma exchanges combined with immunosuppressive treatment. The plasma inhibitor was no longer present after the first exchange and clinical and biological remission was rapid.
