Post-extraction bleeding--an aid to diagnosis? Case report.
Haemophilia A, the most common of bleeding disorders is characterized by bruising and spontaneous bleeding into the joints but may remain undiagnosed if present in the mild form. A case is discussed where episodes of bruising and joint swelling as a child were misdiagnosed as rheumatic fever and the bleeding disorder was diagnosed following recurrent episodes of bleeding after extraction of an upper molar tooth.
