Naung Latt Htun: High Clinical Suspicion in Acquired Hemophilia A is Essential

Naung Latt Htun, Internal Medicine Doctor at Ministry of Health Brunei Darussalam, shared on LinkedIn about a recent article he and his colleagues co-authored, adding:

”Excited to share that our latest case report has been published in Cureus Journal of Medical Science!

Acquired Hemophilia A (AHA) Associated With Malignancy and Antiphospholipid Antibodies: Two Case Reports With Distinct Etiologies

In this paper, we present two rare and clinically challenging cases of AHA – an uncommon but potentially life-threatening autoimmune bleeding disorder caused by factor VIII inhibitors.

Key highlights:

  • AHA can present with unexplained bleeding and isolated prolonged aPTT
  • Underlying causes can be diverse – including malignancy, autoimmune conditions, and infections
  • Coexistence with antiphospholipid antibodies creates a complex paradox of bleeding vs thrombosis
  • Early recognition and a dual management approach (bleeding control plus inhibitor eradication) are critical

These cases emphasize the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion when evaluating unexplained bleeding, especially in patients with comorbid conditions.

Proud to have worked with an excellent team on this publication!”
