Is it possible to transfer acquired hemophilia with breast milk?
Acquired Hemophilia is an AutoImmune Disease, hence it is possible to transfer it from mother to child through breastfeeding milk. The antibodies subjected to autoimmune disease also passes into the infant or baby from breastmilk in addition to the healthy antibodies. These abnormal antibodies will act as an inhibitor to the enzyme responsible for production of Factor VIII , a blot clotting protein. Less number of factor VIII protein results in increased amount of internal bleeding.
