V. Lysova, E. V. Belyaeva, L. N. Bubnova. Research Institute of Hemat
ology and Transfusiology, St. Peterburg, Russia. 76 hemophiliacs were
examined immunologically and biochemically for concentrations of glyco
saminoglycans in leukocytes and platelets, plasma DNA, serum activity
of poly-A-polymerase. 36 of them had severe disease with exacerbation
of arthropathy. The authors have determined some biochemical and immun
ological parameters the changes of which characterize severe and treat
ment-resistant forms of hemophilia.
