title: Management of acquired haemophilia bleed in the backdrop of multiple myeloma.
abstract: Acquired haemophilia A is an uncommon, potentially life-threatening disorder caused by onset of auto-antibodies against coagulation factor VIII. The association of acquired haemophilia and multiple myeloma is extremely rare. Prompt diagnosis of this acquired bleeding disorder is essential for management, aimed at haemorrhage control and inhibitor suppression. We describe a case of acquired haemophilia in a patient with multiple myeloma.
