Deskripsi
Acquired hemophilia (AH) is a potentially life-threatening hemorrhagic disorder. We report the second confirmed case of COVID-19-associated AH in a 45-year-old female which, unfortunately, expired as her treatment failed. She presented to the emergency department with abnormal bleeding and spontaneous hemoptysis about ten days after a removal surgery of her epiglottis tumor. Aggregation tests, such as partial thromboplastin time (PTT), are recommended in patients with COVID-19 infection that have bleeding episodes.
