Types of haemophilia
The two most common types of haemophilia are haemophilia A and haemophilia B although haemophilia A accounts for the majority of cases.
Both types have the same symptoms but they’re caused by problems with different clotting factors and have slightly different treatments.
There’s also a rarer form of haemophilia called acquired haemophilia. This isn’t an inherited condition but is caused by the immune system (the body’s natural defence against infection and illness) attacking the clotting factors in the blood.http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Haemophilia/Pages/Introduction.aspx
