These were all mildly affected haemophiliacs, but all were liable to trauma unless they exercised extreme care.
The deaths of more 300 haemophiliacs were linked to these decisions.

During the survey it was found that three young haemophiliacs had died as a result of road accidents in recent years.
The procedure for admission to hospital following the involvement of a haemophiliac in a road accident gives cause for concern.
These proportions are reversed in the present child haemophiliacs.
The effect on the other children of the birth of a haemophiliac depended on his position in the family.
Only one man, the oldest haemophiliac interviewed, who lived in a house without electricity, did not watch television.
