We performed a prospective study of FVII inhibitor\udoccurrence in a large number of patients with FVII\uddeficiency who had received replacement therapy for\udspontaneous or traumatic bleeding episodes, major or\udminor surgical interventions or prophylaxis.Inhibitor development was detected in 2.6% (3/115)\udof patients, but the incidence of de novo inhibitors\udwas 0.8% (1/115). Thus, in this rare bleeding disorder,\udthe development of FVII inhibitors is a very rare\udcomplication as rare as that reported in patients with\udhaemophilia B (prevalence of 2–3%
