Factor V inhibitor: case report (original) (raw)

Blood Coagulation & Fibrinolysis, 2006

Abstract

Acquired inhibitors to coagulation factors are rare, certainly those directed against factor V. A total of around 150 cases have so far been reported, of which the greater part was due to bovine thrombin exposure. We report the case of a patient who developed a factor V inhibitor during a postoperative period. This report describes possible aetiologies, varying clinical conditions and treatment possibilities as described in the literature. Furthermore, this case report is an example of the often unpredictable disease progression in a patient with existence of a factor V inhibitor.
