Their median age was 11 years, and the most frequent initial manifestations were cutaneous\u2010mucosal haemorrhages (29.70%) and post\u2010circumcision haemorrhages (25.74%). Previous joint bleedings were present in 77% of them, with an arthropathy in 65 cases, which particularly affected the knees (75%), elbows (41%) and ankles (29%). Factor VIII (FVIII) levels combined with activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) values did not always enable, as would be expected, the distinction between severe and moderate haemophilia, since they were\u00a0&gt;1 IU\/dl in 31 of 74 patients with APTT\u00a0&gt;\u00a080\u00a0s, and between 1 and 2 IU\/dl in 26 other cases with previous joint haemorrhages, including 18 with chronic arthropathy. Therefore, for these patients, severe haemophilia could not be excluded, and this uncertainty probably reflects technical difficulties affecting the pre\u2010analytical and analytical stages of the APTT and FVIII\/IX assays.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our study proved that haemophilia is a significant reality in Benin, but also remains under\u2010diagnosed in some districts of the country. In addition, more reliable biological tests are needed in the future to better define the severity of the disease and improve treatment of
