Hemophilia and Von Willebrand's Disease in the 1990s

There is great enthusiasm and hope - realistic hope - for a cure for hemophilia, as well as for HIV infection. The challenges to bring these hopes to reality are reflected in this book. The papers in this volume represent the authors' views and experience concerning a wide variety of timely issues related to hemophilia, von Willebrand's disease, their treatment and complications. These include musculoskeletal complications, inhibitors, hepatitis and its sequelae, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and aquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), as well as new technologies (and their costs), future strategies including gene insertion, and also global issues related to the basic needs of persons with hemophilia in developing countries.
