【 摘 要 】

Haemophilia is a hereditary recessive disease linked to sex, causing a coagulation disorder characterized by bleeding episodes, which can be spontaneous or as a result of minor trauma. There are two types of haemophilia: type A, due to a deficiency of factor VIII and type B, due to a deficit of factor IX. Due to their kind of inheritance, males are affected more by the disease.1 Based on the level of clotting factors, haemophilia is classified into mild (clotting factor level 5–40%), moderate (1–5%), and severe (< 1%).
