A 13-year-old girl develops menorrhagia at the onset of menarche requiring several packed red blood cell transfusions. She also required a transfusion after a tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy when she was 5 years old, but it was never evaluated. She also has easy bruising and gingival bleeding daily when she brushes her teeth. She is referred to you by her pediatrician for an evaluation.
There is a history of menorrhagia in the mother though she never required any transfusions. In addition, there is a history of epistaxis and postsurgical bleeding
in the father. Her parents have normal aPTTs and the patient has an abnormal screening laboratory test. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?
a. Factor VII deficiency
b. Factor VIII deficiency
c. Factor IX deficiency
d. Factor XII deficiency
e. Factor XIII deficiency
a. Factor VII deficiency

following tests should be ordered next?
a. Factor XIII level

You are seeing a 10 year boy old with easy bruising and recurrent epistaxis as a second opinion. He is active in a variety of sports, however his mother feels that
his bruising is excessive. His pediatrician sent the following laboratory tests all of which are normal: WBC, Hemoglobin, platelet count, PT, PTT. Another hematologist ordered the following all of which were normal: VWF Ag, ristocetin cofactor activity, factor VIII activity, factor XIII activity, and platelet aggregation studies. Which of the following physical exam
indings would be most informative:
a. Petechiae where the blood pressure cuff was placed
b. Hypermobility of the finger joints
c. Palpable bruises over the tibial surface.
d. A conjunctival hemorrhage
e. Albinism
b. Hypermobility of the finger joints
A 4-year-old male is in the intensive care unit and has been intubated and sedated. You are asked to consult because of the presence of numerous generalized petechiae and some large ecchymosis on the abdomen and trunk. Laboratory evaluation demonstrates a platelet count of 45 × 109/L, a PT of 15.4 seconds (normal 9.7–11.2 seconds), a PTT of 48 seconds (normal 22–36
seconds), and a fibrinogen level of 0.87 g/L (normal 2–4 g/L). Which of the following most likely led to these clinical findings?

A 1 year old male presents to the emergency room with irritability and vomiting, and a CT scan demonstrates a large intracranial parenchymal hemorrhage. The
