Abstract:
Acquired haemophilia A (AHA) is a rare acquired
bleeding disorder with a worldwide incidence of 2
per million of the population (1). It has a bimodal age
distribution including postpartum period and adults
over 50 years while the latter being most frequent (2).
We report a case of AHA in a postpartum young
female. We were unable to trace previous cases of the
same condition reported in Sri Lanka.
