Case report A 22 year old Asian primigravida, known to have severe factor X deficiency with a factor X level 4 % of normal activity (normal range 50150 YO), booked for antenatal care at 12 weeks of gestation. Her parents were first cousins and two siblings were heterozygous carriers of the factor X deficiency trait. Her husband had a normal factor X level. Factor X deficiency was first diagnosed in 1983 when she presented with prolonged bleeding from cuts. She also suffered from menorrhagia and was given fresh frozen plasma as prophylaxis against excessive bleeding before a dental extraction. An ultrasound scan confirmed the gestational age and showed a singleton pregnancy. Combined antenatal care by an obstetrician and a haematologist was planned. She was well at 18 weeks of gestation and an ultrasound scan showed apparently normal fetal anatomy. At 22 weeks she was admitted to hospital with vaginal bleeding, abdominal pain and tenderness over the fundus of the uterus. An ultrasound scan showed a fundal retroplacental haematoma measuring 55 x 25 mm. Fetal growth and the amniotic fluid volume were normal. A Kleihauer-Betke test was negative. Her factor X level was only 2% of normal activity. After administration of two units of BioProduct Laboratory (BPL) Factor IXA (composition per unit: 500 iu factor X, 500 iu antithrombin 111, 550 iu factor IXA, 600iu factor I1 and 5OOOiu heparin), her factor X level rose to 37% of normal activity. The day after BPL Factor IXA infusion she developed chest pain and shortness of breath. Her lungs were clinically clear, and there was no associated calf pain. Oxygen saturation (PaO,) was 97 %. There was concern about possible pulmonary embolism, but the clinical signs improved rapidly, and a chest X-ray and an electrocardiogram (ECG) were normal. After two days, the vaginal bleeding stopped. Four days later a repeat ultrasound scan showed that the haematoma had not increased in size, and she was discharged home with a follow up appointment in the antenatal clinic a week later. At antenatal visits at 23,27, 31 and 33 weeks fetal growth was satisfactory on ultrasound scans and the haematoma was getting smaller. At 34 weeks of gestation she was readmitted with a pyrexia of 37.8 "C, mild haemoptysis, shortness of breath,
