of APCC for management of joint bleeding 

has been shown to be essentially equivalent 

(Level 2) [69].

9.  Notably, however, some patients respond better 



to one agent than the other, highlighting the 

need to individualize therapy. (Level 2) [69,70]

10. An anamnestic immune response should be 

expected in patients with hemophilia B and a 

FIX inhibitor treated with prothrombin complex 

concentrates – whether activated or not – since 

these concentrates all contain FIX. 

11. On the other hand, the risk of anamnesis in 

patients with hemophilia A and an inhib-

itor treated with a(n) (activated) prothrombin 


COMPLICATIONS OF HEMOPHILIA

complex concentrate will vary depending on the 



concentrate and its content of FVIII, which is 

generally minimal. It is estimated that APCC 

leads to an anamnestic response in approximately 

30% of FVIII inhibitor patients.

12. Although there has been interest in the use of 

immunosuppressive therapies in patients with 

inhibitors, their role is not yet defined, and there 

is no consensus as to whether they have a place 

in the management of these patients. 

Allergic reactions in patients with hemophilia B

1.  Up to 50% of hemophilia B patients with inhibi-

tors may have severe allergic reactions, including 

anaphylaxis, to FIX administration. Such reac-

tions can be the first symptom of inhibitor 

development.

2.  Newly diagnosed hemophilia B patients, partic-

ularly those with a family history and/or with 

genetic defects predisposed to inhibitor devel-

opment, should be treated in a clinic or hospital 

setting capable of treating severe allergic reac-

tions during the initial 10-20 treatments with 

FIX concentrates. Reactions can occur later but 

may be less severe. (Level 4) [71-72]

Immune tolerance induction 

1.  In patients with severe hemophilia A, eradica-



tion of inhibitors is often possible by immune 

tolerance induction (ITI) therapy. (Level 2) 

[73,74]

2.  Before ITI therapy, high-responding patients 



should avoid FVIII products to allow inhibitor 

titres to fall and to avoid persistent anamnestic 

rise. As noted, some patients may develop an 

anamnestic response to the inactive FVIII mole-

cules in APCC as well. (Level 2) [75]

3.  Optimal regimen (product or dose) for ITI 

remains to be defined. An international trial 

comparing 50 IU/kg three times a week to 200 

IU/kg daily was recently stopped due to safety 

concerns (higher number of intercurrent bleeds) 

in the low-dose arm pending detailed analysis 

and interpretation of the data [76]. 

4.  Response to ITI may be less favourable in patients 

with moderate/mild hemophilia [63]. 

5.  Experience with ITI for hemophilia B inhibitor 

patients is limited. The principles of treatment in 

these patients are similar, but the success rate is 

much lower, especially in persons whose inhib-

itor is associated with an allergic diathesis. 

6.  Hemophilia B inhibitor patients with a history 

of severe allergic reactions to FIX may develop 

nephrotic syndrome during ITI, which is not 

always reversible upon cessation of ITI therapy. 

Alternative treatment schedules, including 

immunosuppressive therapies, are reported to 

be successful [77]. 



Patients switching to new concentrates 

1.  For the vast majority of patients, switching prod-

ucts does not lead to inhibitor development. 

2.  However in rare instances, inhibitors in previ-

ously treated patients have occurred with the 

introduction of new FVIII concentrates. 

3.  In those patients, the inhibitor usually disappears 

after withdrawal of the new product. 

4.  Patients switching to a new factor concentrate 

should be monitored for inhibitor develop-

ment. (Level 2) [53]

6.3  Transfusion-transmitted and other infection-related complications 

1.  The emergence and transmission of HIV, HBV 

and HCV through clotting factor products 

resulted in high mortality of people with hemo-

philia in the 1980s and early 1990s [78,79]. 

2.  Many studies conducted all over the world indi-

cate that HIV, HBV, and HCV transmission 

through factor concentrate has been almost 

completely eliminated [80,81]. 



GUIDELINES FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF HEMOPHILIA

3.  This is a result of the implementation of several 



risk-mitigating steps, which include careful selec-

tion of donors and screening of plasma, effective 

virucidal steps in the manufacturing process, and 

advances in sensitive diagnostic technologies for 

detection of various pathogens [82]. 

4.  Recombinant factor concentrates have been 

adopted over the past two decades, particularly 

in developed countries. Recombinant products 

have contributed significantly to infection risk 

reduction. 

5.  The new challenge remains emerging and 

re-emerging infections, many of which are not 

amenable to current risk reduction measures. 

These include the non-lipid enveloped viruses 

and prions, for which diagnosis and elimination 

methods are still a challenge [81,83,84]. 

6.  As new treatments are continually emerging in 

this rapidly changing field, transfusion-trans-

mitted infections in people with hemophilia are 

best managed by a specialist.



Principles of management of HIV infection in 

hemophilia

1.  Knowledge and expertise in the treatment of 

HIV-infected people with hemophilia is currently 

limited to case series and reports. HIV treatment 

in people with hemophilia is therefore largely 

informed by guidelines used in the non-hemo-

philia population. 

2.  As part of the hemovigilance program, all 



people with hemophilia treated with plasma-

derived products that are not adequately 

virus-inactivated should be tested for HIV at 

least every 6-12 months and whenever clini-

cally indicated. (Level 4) [85]

3.  The diagnosis, counselling, initiation of treat-



ment, and monitoring of HIV, as well as the 

treatment of HIV-associated complications 

in infected people with hemophilia, should be 

the same as in the non-hemophilic population. 

(Level 2) [86,87] 

4.  None of the currently available classes of anti-



HIV drugs are contraindicated in people with 

hemophilia. (Level 5) [88-90]

Principles of management of HCV infection 

in hemophilia

1.  Assessment of HCV in people with hemophilia 

should include: 

 ■ anti-HCV serology to determine exposure

 ■ HCV polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in 

those who are anti-HCV positive

 ■ HCV genotyping in those who are HCV PCR 

positive


 ■ liver function tests and non-invasive assess-

ment of fibrosis and liver architecture

2.  The current standard of treatment for HCV 

is pegylated interferon (PEG-INF) and riba-

virin, which give sustained virological response 

in 61% of people with hemophilia. (Level 1) 

[91-96]

3.  New antiviral therapies, in combination with 

these drugs, may improve sustained virologic 

response rates [97]. 

4.  HCV genotype 1 and HIV coinfection predict 

poorer response to anti-HCV therapy. 

5.  Where HCV eradication cannot be achieved, 

regular monitoring (every 6-12 months) for 

end-stage liver complication is recommended. 

(Level 3) [98]

Principles of management of HBV infection 

in hemophilia

1.  All people with hemophilia treated with plasma-



derived products that are not adequately 

virus-inactivated should be screened for hepa-

titis B antigen and anti-hepatitis B at least every 

6-12 months and whenever clinically indicated. 

(Level 4) [99]

2.  Active HBV infection should be managed as per 

local infectious disease guidelines and protocols.

3.  Those without HBV immunity should be 



given the anti-HBV vaccine. Protective 

COMPLICATIONS OF HEMOPHILIA

seroconversion should be rechecked following 



vaccination. (Level 4) [99-101]

4.  People with hemophilia who do not seroconvert 



should be revaccinated with double the hepa-

titis B vaccine dose. (Level 4) [99,102]

Principles of management of bacterial 

infection in hemophilia

1.  The risk factors for bacterial infections in people 

with hemophilia are venous access catheter 

insertion, surgical arthroplasty, and other surgical 

interventions [103-105]. 

2.  In general, joint aspiration to treat hemarthrosis 

should be avoided, unless done early under appro-

priate cover of factor replacement and with strict 

aseptic precautions to prevent infection [106,107].

3.  Bleeding is likely to delay healing and worsen 

infection and should therefore be well controlled 

[108]. 


4.  Control of the source of infection is of paramount 

importance in PWH [109,110].

7.1  Choice of factor replacement therapy protocols

1.  The correlation shown in Figure 7-1 between 

possible factor replacement therapy protocols 

and overall outcome depicts the choices that one 

needs to make when selecting doses and regimen 

of clotting factor concentrates. 

2.  While enabling a completely normal life should 

remain the ultimate goal of factor replacement 

therapy, this cannot be achieved immediately in 

people with hemophilia in all situations. 

3.  The availability of treatment products varies 

significantly around the world and there will 

therefore always be a range of doses with which 

people with hemophilia are treated. Lower doses 

may increase as the global availability of treat-

ment products improves incrementally over time.

GUIDELINES FOR THE MANAGEMENT OF HEMOPHILIA

70

4.  Table 7-1 and Table 7-2 present commonly 



followed guidelines on plasma factor peak levels 

and duration of replacement that reflect the 

different practices in countries where there is 

no significant resource constraint (Table 7-1) and 

countries where treatment products are limited 

(Table 7-2). 

5.  With the lower doses for treating musculoskel-

etal bleeds listed in Table 7-2, it may only be 

possible to avoid major target joints and crip-

pling deformities. 

6.  Higher doses listed in Table 7-1 have been shown 

to avoid joint damage, but the optimal dose 

needed to achieve this remains to be defined.

7.  Observational studies documenting the musculo-

skeletal outcome of doses and protocols of factor 

replacement are extremely important in defining 

these issues.

8.  Doses for prophylactic replacement of factor 

concentrates vary between different countries 

and also among centres in the same country. 

9.  Commonly-used dosage for prophylactic factor 

replacement is 25-40 IU/kg 2-3 times weekly in 

countries with less resource constraints (see 

Section 1 for details). [1-3] 

10. In situations where there are greater constraints 



on supply of factor concentrates, prophylaxis 

may be initiated with lower doses of 10-20 

IU/kg 2-3 times per week. (Level 2) [4,5]
