Out of these 5 cases, only 1 of the victims was a Haemophiliac. The 1 haemophilia case was a Hepatitis C infection that occurred in the 1960s, before Factor concentrates were in use, meaning that the case did not relate to the relevant period which is regarded at the mid-1970s–1980s. [16] None of these examined cases involved HIV infection. [17]
The HIV Haemophilia Litigation [1990] 41 BMLR 171, [5] [1990] 140 NLJR 1349 (CA), [6] [1989] E N. 2111, also known as AMcG002, [1] and HHL, [7] was a legal claim by 962 plaintiffs, [8] mainly haemophiliacs (but also their wives, partners and children), who were infected with HIV as a result of having been treated with blood products in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Contaminated hemophilia blood products were a serious public health problem in the late 1970s up to 1985. Hemophilia A causes a deficiency in Factor VIII , a protein required for blood clotting. Factor VIII injections are a common treatment to prevent or stop bleeding in people with hemophilia A. [ 1 ]
Haemophilia C is an autosomal genetic disorder involving a lack of functional clotting Factor XI. Haemophilia C is not completely recessive, as heterozygous individuals also show increased bleeding. [42] The type of haemophilia known as parahaemophilia is a mild and rare form and is due to a deficiency in factor V.
