Children with occasional nosebleeds and easy bruising after trauma usually do not have a bleeding disorder. Prolonged or severe nosebleeds, especially if associated with easy bruising that produces very large bruises in multiple locations after very mild trauma or with bleeding in more than one location, such as nosebleeds and bleeding from his gums after brushing his teeth, are more likely to be associated with a bleeding disorder. |

-Screening tests that will probably be done if your child has a suspected bleeding disorder, include a platelet count, a Partial Thromboplastin Time (PTT), a Prothrobin Time (PT) and a bleeding time. Clotting factor assays for hemophilia may also be done. |

My son has Hemophilia A. We knew about it because we noticed that he develops really large bruises after his routine immunizations. His pediatrician had to run some blood tests to diagnose him. We were already kind of expecting it because we have a family history of hemophiliacs. |
