ABSTRACT

Congenital Factor XIII deficiency was first described in 1960 and about 200 cases have been published about it. It is characterized by the appearance of delayed bleeding after suffering a trauma. It is diagnosed by demonstrating an increase in the solubility of a clot in urea and is confirmed by quantification of factor XIII. We report a 2-year-old patient with factor XIII deficiency. This is the first case seen in our hospital.
