Abstract

Hemophilia is a hemorrhagic disease caused by the defect or abnormal activities of the coagulation factor. The proper dosage and interval of factor replacement therapy are not defined. So the dosage and interval can be different in each case. We have experienced a case of factor replacement therapy and measuring of factor IX activities before and after Cesarean section on the patient who has a moderate hemophilia B carrier. She delivered a female baby weighing 2,800 gm and was discharged on eighth postoperative day without hematoma and hemorrhage.

Key Words: Hemophilia B, Cesarean section
