title: von Willebrand's disease in Zimbabwe. A report on 3 families.
abstract: Three families with clinically typical features of von Willebrand's disease are described. One family had features to suggest type II disease. Von Willebrand's disease appears to be rare in Africa, but this may be due both to lack of awareness among clinicians and insufficient laboratory facilities.
