Current trends in haemophilia treatment for children
Even today the treatment of persons with haemophilia is still based on the substitution of missing clotting factor via intravenous injection. Still more and more haemophiliacs (mainly children) are treated with recombinant clotting factor concentrates. The gold standard for the treatment of severe haemophilia in children is the prophylactic factor administration, ideally in home settings, where the patient or another family member, administers the medication himself.
