title: Management and surveillance of the hemophiliacs at the National Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion of Vietnam.
abstract: Surveillance and management 295 times of 29 hemophiliacs was carried out from 1985 to 1990. Among them, 113 were hospitalized, 103 with bleeding and 5 for prevention. Joint bleeding was the most frequent (46.96%), thereafter nose bleeding and bleeding from the gum, the mouth and mucous membrane (15.53%). Hemophiliacs having inhibitors to factor VIII were 13.79%. Fresh frozen plasma, cryoprecipitates, traditional medicine were used in the treatment. The effects of cryoprecipitates were shown to be better. The traditional medicine gave hope for prevention.
