“…The results of skin‐sensitivity tests tend to follow the patient's perception of their doctor's expectations, and be positive only if the injected areas are accessible to them 16 . Patients with AES are rarely free of lesions and continue to get lesions under plaster casts, while self‐inflicted lesions improve 1,15 , 17 . Therefore, it may be necessary to place patients under close observation following intradermal injections.…”

A 60-year-old woman with multiple psychosocial issues presented with a history of spontaneous painful bruising on her left upper arm. Extensive investigations did not reveal any abnormality apart from an elevated activated partial thromboplastin time as a result of factor XII deficiency. An autoerythrocyte sensitization test reproduced the tender bruises on her back. Our patient reported relief of pain with promethazine injections. She was subsequently referred to the psychiatric team for ongoing assessment and management. Having an awareness of this rare condition will assist in the prevention of unnecessary investigation of such cases and will allow the early referral of patients for appropriate psychological counselling.

“…A typical case has been described in a 10-year-old boy (20). Although not all investigators appear to agree, a critical review of published cases ascribing the pathophysiology to immunity against autologous circulating cells shows many inconsistencies with an acceptable immunologic model (5, 11,14,17,18,22,29).…”

Atypical Bleeding in Hemophilia: Application of the Conversion Model to the Case Study of A Child

Although it has been suggested that psychosocial events may trigger bleeding in patients with hemophilia, few specific instances have been described. In this report we interpret a series of atypical bleeding episodes in a child with a factor VIII deficiency. Although the specific pathophysiologic events that led to bleeding into the elbow are unknown in this child, they are probably similar to those of "psychogenic purpura." It is likely that these episodes of atypical bleeding can be interpreted in terms of conversion model and that conversion reactions in children required involvement by at least one parent.

“…(2) the incidence of forceps deliveries from hospital to hospital varies from 10% to 60%; (3) comparing hospitals of high forceps rate with the low forceps rate there is no statistically significant difference regarding perinatal mortality or maternal and neonatal morbidity. It would appear, therefore, that a great many unnecessary low-forceps deliveries are effected.…”
