Abstract

Emicizumab constitutes a novel and effective prophylaxis for hemophilia A patients with and without inhibitors. In this case report, we describe an emicizumab-induced photosensitivity that forced permanent sun-exposure suppression. To the best of our knowledge, this side effect had not been communicated until present.

Keywords: hemophilia A/B; hemophilia therapy; hemostasis.
