Chronic inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathy complicated by factor VIII antibody

Neurology

Abstract

A 66-year-old man with a 45-month course of chronic inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathy developed a coagulopathy due to an antibody to factor VIII. Despite clinical improvement in the neurologic disease at the onset of the coagulation disorder, antibody to peripheral nerve myelin was demonstrated in high titer. Antibodies to factor VIII and peripheral nerve myelin were both of the IgG class, but were immunologically distinct. This previously unreported association lends further credence to a disturbance in immunoregulation in chronic inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathy.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
