Abstract
The clinical and haematological features of haemophilia
are reviewed and the historical aspects, pathogenesis and
genetics are discussed. The problems associated with
management, such as factor replacement, home therapy,
physiotherapy, surgical intervention and the presence of
inhibitors, are fully described. Finally, mention is made
of the psychological problems of haemophiliacs and of the
help given by the South African Haemophilia Foundation.
