    Hemophilic children rarely showed high immune complexes, unlike typical immune complex diseases. However, frequent complement system abnormalities, including elevated levels and intravascular activation, were observed in these patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Hematology

    Background:

    • Hemophilia is a bleeding disorder associated with Factor VIII deficiency.
    • The role of immune complexes and complement activation in hemophilia is not fully understood.
    • Potential associations with Factor VIII concentrate infusion warrant investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the levels of immune complexes and complement activation in children with hemophilia.
    • To determine if hemophilia patients exhibit increased immune complex loads.
    • To explore the prevalence of complement system abnormalities in hemophilia.

    Main Methods:

    • Sera from 69 hemophilic children were analyzed.
    • Raji cell radioimmune assay and C1q binding assay were used to detect immune complexes.
    • Complement component levels (C3, C4, C5, Factor B, Properdin) and C3d were measured.

    Main Results:

    • Abnormally high circulating immune complexes were rarely detected in hemophilic children compared to controls.
    • Elevated complement levels were frequent, with significant increases noted for C3, C4, C5, Factor B, and Properdin.
    • Significantly raised C3d levels indicated intravascular complement activation.

    Conclusions:

    • Hemophilic children do not appear to have increased immune complex loads.
    • Frequent abnormalities in the complement system suggest ongoing activation in hemophilia.
    • These complement abnormalities may be related to Factor VIII preparation perfusion.
