Rare case of combined factor V and factor X deficiency in pregnancy: presenting as secondary postpartum haemorrhage in first pregnancy and successful outcome in second pregnancy
Isolated factor V and factor X deficiency is a very rare condition affecting 1 in 500,000–1,000,000 persons worldwide. We present a rare first reported case of combined deficiency of factor V and factor X where the patient developed secondary postpartum haemorrhage in first pregnancy, after which she was diagnosed to have this rare disorder and her subsequent pregnancy was then successfully managed.
