Hemophilia: Early Observations- Second Century For it was taught: If she circumcised her first child and he died [as a result of bleeding from the operation] and a second one died [similarly], she must not circumcise her third child.

1990s Prophylaxis recommendation • Primary • Early institution ~ 1-2 years with the aim of maintaining trough > 1% • Longitudinal assessment of joint status essential • Secondary • Appropriate for intervention to prevent joint and other disease associated morbidities MASAC Recommendation #35.
