ABSTRACT
Acquired hemophilia is an uncommon complication of rheumatologic diseases. We report a rare presentation of a patient who developed bruising and bleeding three years after the onset of mixed connective tissue disease. We demonstrated the presence of an inhibitor to Factor VIII which disappeared promptly and completely in association with an increase in corticosteroid therapy
