We report the case of a man in his early 70s with idiopathic acquired haemophilia A and persistent high-titre type II inhibitors on immunosuppressive treatment to eradicate the inhibitor. As complications, he had a nosocomial severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, which caused severe pneumonia and an explosive inflammatory reaction that required tocilizumab and remdesivir treatment, and a high-risk retroperitoneal haematoma. Recombinant porcine factor VIII, susoctocog alfa, was requested from the Pharmacy Service in view of the extreme risk of thromboembolism resulting from the concomitant inflammatory storm caused by SARS-CoV-2. Improvement in the SARS-CoV-2 infection made it possible to complete the immunosuppressive treatment with rituximab. The patient was discharged with mycophenolate mofetil as immunosuppressive treatment after 89 days in hospital and 22 days of treatment with susoctocog alfa. His SARS-CoV-2 infection resolved and the haematoma evolved favourably.
