Rationale:

Acquired hemophilia A is a rare hemorrhagic disease in which the body produces specific antibodies that attack factor VIII, resulting in bleeding that is mainly mucocutaneous and associated with soft tissue and the gastrointestinal system. Approximately 50% of this disease derives from basic diseases, such as autoimmune diseases, cancer, and pregnancy.

Patient Concerns:

We report a 35-year-old postpartum female with acquired hemophilia A who initially presented with pleural hemorrhage.

Diagnoses:

In this patient activated prothrombin time (PT) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) were found, and the factor VIII activity was 12.6%, furthermore Bethesda assay showed a FVIII antibody titer of 7.4 Bethesda units (BUs).

Interventions:

The treatment requires a 2-pronged approach: treatment of the bleeding and elimination of the inhibitor.

Outcomes:

After hemostatic agents were used and inhibitors were eradicated, the patient achieved complete remission without relapse.

Lessons:

It is essential to recognize the development of disease earlier in pregnant woman.

Pleural Effusion I: Introduction

Pleural Effusion I: Introduction

Pleural effusion is an abnormal fluid accumulation in the pleural cavity, a narrow space between the lungs and the chest wall. It is not a disease per se but rather a symptom or indication of an underlying disease. In normal circumstances, this space contains a small amount of fluid (5 to 15 mL), a lubricant facilitating the non-frictional movement of the pleural surfaces.
There are two main types of pleural effusion: transudative and exudative. They are differentiated using Light's...

Initiation of Translation

Initiation of Translation

Initiating translation is complex because it involves multiple molecules. Initiator tRNA, ribosomal subunits, and eukaryotic initiation factors (eIFs) are all required to assemble on the initiation codon of mRNA. This process consists of several steps that are mediated by different eIFs.
First, the initiator tRNA must be selected from the pool of elongator tRNAs by eukaryotic initiation factor 2 (eIF2). The initiator tRNA (Met-tRNAi) has conserved sequence elements including modified bases at...

Transcription Initiation

Transcription Initiation

Initiation is the first step of transcription in eukaryotes. Prokaryotic RNA Polymerase (RNAP) can bind to the template DNA and start transcribing. On the other hand, transcription in eukaryotes requires additional proteins, called transcription factors, to first bind to the promoter region in the DNA template. This binding helps recruit the specific RNAP that can assemble on the DNA and start transcription.
The promoters and enhancers and their accessory proteins allow tight regulation of...

Pleural Disorders: Types and Brief Description

Pleural Disorders: Types and Brief Description

The pleura is a vital part of the respiratory system. It's a double-layered membrane surrounding the lungs and lining the chest cavity. The two layers of the pleura are:

Pleural Effusion II: Symptoms and Management

Pleural Effusion Overview
A pleural effusion is the abnormal collection of fluid between the parietal and visceral pleura layers of tissue that form the lining of the lungs and chest cavity. It can occur independently or due to surrounding parenchymal diseases, such as infection, malignancy, or inflammatory conditions.
