Sepsis due to an infected pseudocyst of hemophilia. A case report.
A 42-year-old Factor-VIII-deficient hemophiliac developed an infected pseudocyst and subsequent clostridial sepsis. Wide surgical debridement and precise medical management provided for survival in this patient's case. The treatment of choice for this rarely encountered problem was radical excisional surgery along with antibiotics and replenishment of all necessary blood products.
