Hemophilia can be fatal to a baby if the child is too young to realize he or she can bleed to death and if he or she fails to report a bleed. Usually a baby under two cannot tell you if he or she is bleeding but the child will scream when hurt. Two to Three year old children can be taught to report all "boo boos" to all adults even if their boo boo does not hurt much. Bruises can be just as serious as an open wound on a hemophiliac. Babies with the disease must be watched far more carefully than the average baby.

The gene that causes hemophilia is located on the X chromosome. A woman who gives birth to a child with hemophilia often has other male relatives who have hemophilia.

This means the gene can be"hidden"( or passed down through several generations of female carriers without affecting any male members of the family) or the change in the X chromosome is new (a spontaneous mutation).

Is haemophilia fatal or not?
It can be. More so in the past. Treatment of hemophilia has come a long way. In parts of the world where treatment options are limited (normally due to costs and availability) many injuries can be fatal or result in amputation.

Trauma to the head or major organs can still be life threatening though and must be taken seriously.
