  • Title: Acquired haemophilia heralded by bleeding into the oral mucosa in a patient with bullous pemphigoid, rheumatoid arthritis, and vitiligo.
    Author: Patel RS, Harman KE, Nichols C, Burd RM, Pavord S.
    Journal: Postgrad Med J; 2006 Jan; 82(963):e3. PubMed ID: 16397069.
    Abstract:
    Acquired haemophilia is rare and potentially fatal, with a mortality of 20% if left untreated. There is a strong association with other autoimmune diseases. This report describes a patient with rheumatoid arthritis, vitiligo, and bullous pemphigoid where the diagnosis of acquired haemophilia was made after an extensive bleed into a bullous lesion in the buccal mucosa. This case highlights some of the potential complications of acquired haemophilia and its treatment.
