Correct In hemophilia, there is a missing or a deficient clotting factor that prevents the body from making adequate fibrin for clot formation.
The prothrombin time will be within normal limits.
Incorrect The platelet count will not suggest a deficiency, but rather will indicate that it is within normal limits.
Hemophilia is not associated with an allergic reaction to one's own body proteins.
