چکیده
Four patients with classical rheumatoid arthritis who developed acquired haemophilia are described. They developed a spontaneous bleeding diathesis and diagnosis was based on low or absent Factor VIII levels and the presence of a circulating anticoagulant directed against Factor VIII. The course is variable and cyclophosphamide together with control of the underlying rheumatoid arthritis are recommended as treatment.
