What Is The Treatment Of Viral Infection , Nose Bleeds And Fever In A Child?
4 year old boy frequent nose bleed and blood test came back everything normal except ptt prolonged 38 / at the time of blood testing he had a viral infection and fever (could it maybe cause false ptt result?) if not, does the result mean hemophilia? no family history. can viral infection cause temporary rise in ptt level?

hi dear, thanks for your query.
frequent nose bleed with isolated ptt raised may be due to vitamin K deficiency or may be due to von willibrand disease.
I suggest to repeat the test and again result come out same then evaluation for both these common causes is necessary.
