Case Studies

Acquired factor V deficiency in a patient with pulmonary tuberculosis

JL Aliaga, J de Gracia, R Vidal, M Pico, P Flores, and G Sampol

A 29 yr old man with pulmonary tuberculosis and concomitant acquired plasma coagulation factor V deficiency is reported. The case is discussed together with three previously described cases. The bleeding tendency in a patient with pulmonary tuberculosis may be caused by a coagulation factor antibody and may be corrected by chemotherapy, as in the case described. Special therapeutic approaches are required in some cases.
