Description: Provides an overview of all aspects of the care of patients with hemophilia. Covers how to access both bleeding children and adults, Hemophilia A and B, molecular basis of the disease, the role of factors in coagulation, epidemiology, pharmacokinetics, and treatment inhibitors. Also includes a section on musculoskeletal aspects of hemophilia as well as newer developments such as gene therapy and rare bleeding disorders.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.
