Ans. A & E
Hemophilia A is four times as common as hemophilia B
Ie. Hemophilia A constitutes 80-85% of total hemophilia cases.
More than half of patients with hemophilia A have the severe form of hemophilia.
Prothrombintime and platelet count will remain normal in hemophilia A & hemophilia B.
Cryoprecipitate is derived from blood and contains a moderately high concentration of clotting factor VIII (but not IX).
So it can be used in hemophilia A but not in hemophilia B.
