Overview
Clinical distinct features of the Hemophilia disease can be noted in ancient evidences as old as 2nd century A.D. However documented scientific study of the disease was first performed in early 19th century. Hemophilia is sometimes referred to as “The Royal Disease”, as it affected many members of the English, German, Russian and Spanish monarchies in the 19th and 20th centuries.[1]Progress towards more precise and efficient recognition of the disease, its rare forms and treatments is currently on its way.
Historical Perspective
The disease was first described by John Conrad Otto, an American physician, in 1803 based on his observation of affected men in certain families.[2] In 1947, the first distinction between Hemophilia A and Hemophilia B was made by Dr. Alfredo Pavlovsky from Argentina. He demonstrated that a blood donation from one Hemophilia patient could solve the clotting disorder of another Hemophilia patient which leads to recognition of two distinct types of factor deficiencies[3].
In 1965, through her work in the coagulation cascade, Dr. Judith Graham Pool discovered that cryoprecipitate left from thawing plasma was rich in Factor VIII. Soon after, the first use of cryoprecipitate to treat hemophilia A was pioneered[4].
Later on, with the development of factor concentrates, the treatment approach was changed to regular intermittent factor administration rather than treating the bleeding episodes per se. With advances in orthopedic surgeries the skeletal complications of the disease were better controlled. Discovery of desmopressin in 1977 is also known as an important step towards more efficient, less harmful prevention and treatment strategy for many Hemophilia patients. Recently, more advances like introduction of recombinant coagulation factor and immune-modifications has led to more effective treatment of a wider range of Hemophilia patients[5].
