Haemophilia A is the most frequently encountered serious disorder of coagulation, if not properly diagnosed and managed, can lead to severe disability in the male child of the family and at times can be life threatening also.

Coagulation study and factor VIII assays were carried out and severity of the disease determined. In our study 5 (25%) of the cases had severe deficiency, 5(25%) moderate deficiency and 10 (50%) of cases were of mild factor VIII deficiency.
