Abstract. Using a solid‐phase radioimmunoassay for IgM rheumatoid factor, increased levels were found in 24% or 82 patients with haemophilia A, in 4 of 11 patients with haemophilia B, in 2 of 11 patients with haemophilia A with inhibitors and in 4 of 12 with von Willebrand's disease. The levels of rheumatoid factor increased significantly (p < 0.02) after factor VIII concentrate or cryoprecipitate transfusions. No clinical or transfusional side effects could be attributed in these patients in relation to the presence of rheumatoid factor.
