Congenital factor XIII deficiency: comprehensive overview of the FranceCoag cohort.

This FranceCoag network study assessed 33 patients with congenital factor XIII (FXIII) deficiency presenting FXIII levels <10 iu/dl. Diagnosis was based on abnormal bleeding in 29 patients, a positive family history in 2, recurrent miscarriages in 1 and was fortuitous in 1. Eighteen patients (62·1%) presented life-threatening umbilical or intracranial haemorrhages (ICH).

The factor VIII:C/VWF:Ag ratio as a useful tool to predict relapse in patients with acquired haemophilia A: A retrospective cohort study.

Introduction: Acquired haemophilia A (AHA) is a rare autoimmune bleeding disorder caused by the presence of autoantibodies against coagulation factor VIII (FVIII). The mortality rate remains high. International recommendations define complete remission as undetectable inhibitor (<0.

Good syndrome: an adult-onset immunodeficiency remarkable for its high incidence of invasive infections and autoimmune complications.

Background: Good syndrome (GS) is a rare condition in which thymoma is associated with hypogammaglobulinemia. It is characterized by increased susceptibility to bacterial, viral, and fungal infections, as well as autoimmunity. Most patients have no circulating B cells.
