Haemophilia A, a common bleeding disorder, often goes undiagnosed in mild cases. This case highlights how joint swelling and bruising were initially misdiagnosed, delaying the correct diagnosis of this serious condition.

Area of Science:

Hematology
Genetics
Internal Medicine

Background:

Haemophilia A is the most prevalent inherited bleeding disorder.
It is characterized by excessive bruising and spontaneous joint bleeding.
Mild forms of Haemophilia A can evade diagnosis during childhood.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a case study of Haemophilia A.
To illustrate diagnostic challenges in mild Haemophilia A.
To emphasize the importance of considering bleeding disorders in unexplained bruising and joint swelling.

Main Methods:

Case report analysis.
Review of patient's medical history including childhood symptoms and dental procedures.
Diagnostic evaluation for bleeding disorders.

Main Results:

Childhood bruising and joint swelling were initially misdiagnosed as rheumatic fever.
Recurrent bleeding post-dental extraction led to the investigation of a bleeding disorder.
The patient was diagnosed with Haemophilia A.

Conclusions:

Mild Haemophilia A can be challenging to diagnose, often presenting with non-specific symptoms.
Misdiagnosis as other conditions like rheumatic fever is possible.
Prompt diagnosis following trauma, such as dental procedures, is crucial for effective management of Haemophilia A.
