Hemofilia adquirida tratada con anti CD20, un anticuerpo anti linfocito B

We report a 54-year-old male presenting with a history or recurrent nose bleeds and ecchymoses. The coagulation study showed a prolongedpartial thromboplastin time, a factor VIII of 8% and a high inhibitor titer (193 Bethesda units). A diagnosis of acquired hemophilia A was reached. The patient was...
