Abstract

The development of inhibitory antibodies is the most challenging complication in the management of patients with hemophilia. Although much rarer than the occurrence of inhibitors in hemophilia A, the development of inhibitors in patients with hemophilia B can be complicated by anaphylactoid reactions. Immune tolerance therapy in patients with hemophilia B has a lower success rate than in patients with hemophilia B and can lead to the development of steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome.
