Summary. Haemophilia, an ancient disease, now has sophisticated methods for diagnosis and treatment. The genetically missing factors can now be supplied by fractionation of human‐derived (HD) plasma or with recombinant technology (r). Making therapeutic choices is complicated by past transfusion‐transmitted diseases. HD and r products now have similar safety profiles. Several diseases have only HD products for treatment. These products remain important in our treatment armamentarium.
