Abstract

Hemophilia A is usually diagnosed once the infant starts cruising. This makes it challenging to diagnose the condition in early infancy. We report a case of 4 months old male child who presented with resolvable swellings on the trunk. Patient had family history of bilateral painful knee swellings in his maternal uncle. Thus patient was suspected to have a bleeding disorder which was confirmed by laboratory testing of coagulation profile and factor VIII levels.

Keywords: Hemophilia A; Infant; Swelling.
