Allogeneic peripheral stem cell transplantation in a case of hereditary sideroblastic anaemia.

abstract：:Acquired haemophilia A (AHA) is a rare bleeding disorder characterized by the sudden generation of autoantibodies against factor VIII (FVIII) in individuals with no previous history of abnormal haemostasis. Understanding the pathogenesis of this disease has been hampered by the rarity of the patients and the difficult...
