World heamophilia day

“World Haemophilia Day”

“The art of medicine consists in amusing the patient while nature cured the
diseases.”
Some diseases are totally cureable and some diseases have no cure. Diseases just
move like an fire around from person to person or in the other way . One of the
dangerous disease was the Haemophilia disease. But it was curable too.
Every year on 17th of April “World Haemophilia Day” is organised to spread the
awareness about the disease. It’s a very important day for the World Federation of
Haemophilia [WFH] and the bleeding disorders community.
Haemophilia is a mostly inherited genetic disorder. This is a sex linked recessive
disease, which shows its transmission from unaffected carrier female to some of the
male progeny has been widely studied. In this disease, a single protein that is a part
of the cascade of proteins involved in the clotting of blood is affected . Due to this, in
an affected individual a simple cut will result in non stop bleeding . The
heterozygous female [carrier] for haemophilia may transmit the disease to sons .
The possibility of a female becoming a haemophilic is extremely rare because
mother of a such a female has to be atleast carrier and the father should be
haemophilic.
The family of pedigree of Queen Victoria shows a number of Haemophilic
descendant’s as the queen was the carrier of this disease.
This disease is also called as “Royal Disease”.
SYMPTOMS
The symptoms of Haemophilia depend on how a severe the condition is , but the
main sign is the prolonged bleeding .
The disease may develop in the new born babies too but the symptoms are observed
after some years.
This condition usually becomes apparent after a significant wound or surgery, or a
dental procedure such as tooth removed . This disease had two types HaemophiliaA and Haemophilia B

Treatment

It includes injections of a clotting factor or plasma.
Haemophilia in European Royalty
This disease was prolonged along the 19th and 20th centuries. It was discovered in
European country. Britians queen Victoria , was first hit by this disease. Then it was
passed on to her children. Tests on the remains of the Romanvo imperial family
show that the specific form of Haemophilia passed down by queen was probably B
type.
This year the theme of world haemophilia day is “Get+ involved”.
