Abstract

Congenital factor V deficiency is a rare hemorrhagic disease characterized by the various hemorr- hagic manifestations and the prologations of clotting time, prothrombin time and partial thromboplastin time. We experienced a case of congenital factor V deficiency in a 4 month-old male infant, who had suffered from the bleeding tendncy since his neonatal period. We review literatures briefly and present this case.
