This book contains the contribution to the 37th Hemophilia Symposium, Hamburg 2006. The main topics are epidemiolgy, treatment of inhibitors in hemophiliacs, hemophilic arthropathy and synovitis, relevant hemophilia treatment 2006, and pediatric hemostasiology. The volume is rounded off by numerous free papers and posters on hemophilia, casuistics, and diagnostics.
