The historical report of Mannucci et al (1977) on the haemostatic effect of desmopressin (DDAVP [1-deamino-8-Darginine vasopressin]) in patients with moderate or mild haemophilia A and von Willebrand's disease (VWD) was the starting point for extensive theoretical and clinical trials, which rapidly expanded beyond haemophilia and VWD. Paediatricians became particularly interested because DDAVP could offer the following advantages for children: (a) it was effective in bleeding diseases that occur frequently in childhood; (b) it avoided injections as it could be administered intranasally; (c) it was free from infectious agents, especially from hepatitis virus (HIV was not then known); (d) it was less expensive than plasma-derived factor concentrates; and (e) DDAVP had already been approved for treatment of children as an antidiuretic drug. Therefore, it is not surprising that the ®rst conference on the application of DDAVP in bleeding disorders was organized, and the ®rst book was written by paediatricians, some 20 years ago (Sutor, 1980). Two recent reviews described the use of DDAVP in many haemorrhagic situations, but primarily in adults (Lethagen, 1997; Mannucci, 1997). The ®ndings, however, cannot be extrapolated to paediatric patients. In infants and small children, the antidiuretic action of DDAVP increases the risk±bene®t ratio, especially in those in whom the haemostatic action of DDAVP is doubtful (Sutor, 1998a). The following review tries to demonstrate that DDAVP is by no means a panacea for children with bleeding disorders.
