Congenital bleeding disorders are rare diseases. In case of a positive family history, especially in hemophilia, it is very important to prepare a plan for the birth of a child, taking into account an increased risk of bleeding. After birth of such a child, cooperation with a hematologist is key in performing necessary laboratory tests and other examinations. In a number of cases, however, the family history is silent, and the suspicion of a congenital bleeding disease arises only in the presence of bleeding associated with invasive procedures or, for example, intracranial bleed. In such case, rapid diagnosis is necessary, taking into account possible abnormal results of screening tests, ideally in collaboration with a hematologist. Replacement treatment of the coagulation disorder can stop the bleeding and prevent more severe damage or even death of the child.
