We report a first Korean case of anaphylactic response to factor IX replacement therapy in 22-month-old male hemophilia B patient. He was admitted to our hospital via emergency room due to anaphylactic response after factor IX infusion. Immediately after the infusion, he became dyspneic and cyanotic. The symptoms completely resolved after sleep. He represented same symptoms after next factor IX infusion, which completely resolved by the administration of oxygen. At the time of anaphylaxis, inhibitors of factor IX was demonstrated(8.8 Bethesda Unit). We planned him to treat with recombinant factor VII or diluted factor IX at bleeding episode.
