Most cases of AHA are idiopathic; known causes include autoimmune diseases, malignant tumors, pregnancy, drugs, and viral infections. An 86-year-old man was diagnosed with AHA based on the following results: an activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) extension of 130.7 seconds, presence of an inhibitor pattern in a mixing study, an endogenous factor VIII (FVIII) level of <1%, and an FVIII inhibitor titer of >5.1 Bethesda units (BU). The activity of von Willebrand factor (vWF) was diminished (<10%), which was considered a complication of acquired von Willebrand syndrome (AVWS). The patient was started on prednisolone, and the inhibitor level eventually became negative. vWF values also became normal. However, 1 year later, he was hospitalized for treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Blood testing showed an aPTT extension of 110.5 seconds, FVIII level of 4%, and FVIII inhibitor titer of 0.8 BU; thus, a relapse of AHA was diagnosed. After administration of corticosteroid and remdesivir, he recovered from COVID-19 and AHA. The inhibitor level became negative on the 9th day of admission. Several studies have implicated COVID-19 infection and vaccination in AHA. We recommend that aPTT be measured when patients with AHA are infected with SARS-CoV2, to confirm AHA relapse.</p>","PeriodicalId":56076,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Nippon Medical School","volume":" ","pages":"474-479"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10770378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
