Abstract
Anti Factor VIII antibodies, usually detected in the post-partum period, are a recognized complication of pregnancy. They are associated with a high morbidity and mortality and should therefore be treated actively whenever possible. We report two cases of acquired haemophilia arising in the puerperium and responding to treatment with prednisolone. We recommend this approach which is simple, cheap and effective.
