Stephen Christmas 12 February 1947 20 December 1993 was the first patient described to have Christmas disease or Haemophilia B in 1952 by a group of British doctors. Biography Stephen was born to a United Kingdom British family in London . He emigrated to Toronto , Canada with his family, and was there at the age of 2 years that haemophilia was diagnosed at the Hospital for Sick Children . The family returned to London in 1952 to visit their relatives, and during the trip Stephen was admitted to hospital. A sample of his blood was sent to the Oxford Haemophilia Centre in Oxford , where Rosemary Biggs and R.G. McFarlane discovered that he was not deficient in Factor VIII , which is normally decreased in classic haemophilia, but a different protein, which received the name Christmas factor in his honour and later Factor IX . Stephen enrolled in the Ryerson Institute of Technology now Ryerson University in Toronto studying photography . He worked as a taxicab driver after graduation and was employed for some years as a medical photographer at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. Stephen was dependent on blood transfusion blood and plasma transfusions , and was infected with HIV in the period during which blood was not routinely screened for this virus. He became an active worker for the Canadian Haemophilia Society and campaigned for transfusion safety ever since getting infected, but developed AIDS , of which he died in 1993.

The Lindsay Tribunal was set up in Ireland in 1999 to investigate the infection of haemophiliacs with HIV and Hepatitis C from contaminated blood products supplied by the Blood Transfusion Service Board . There are about 400 haemophiliacs in Ireland. According to the tribunal a minimal figure of 250 haemophilliacs were infected with HIV or Hepatitis C while receiving treatment from the BTSB before 1985. Haemophilia is a genetic condition where the blood does not clot as quickly as normal due to a deficiency in certain proteins. This means they can suffer from internal bleeding bruises and sprains can be much more serious for haemophiliacs. Haemophiliacs may be treated by transfusions of the protein they are deficient in. One source of this protein is from human blood. Heat treatment of blood products was started in the mid eighties. Heat treatment of blood products reduces the probability of infection from them. Since 1992 recombinant proteins are generally used, which contain little, if any, human blood products and thus have a negligible risk of contamination. Most of the blood products used by the BTSB were from local donations. However, some of it came from American suppliers which included blood from prisoners and drug addicts, who had a high risk of infection. Findings The Tribunal criticised the National Haemophilia Centre for its slow response to the risk of HIV infection. Findings of the Tribunal included Patients were routinely started on home treatment with possibly dangerous commercial blood products, after the risk of infection had been discovered. Unheated blood products were probably not recalled after the safer heat treated products became available. There was no formal means for communicating with regional centres to stop using unheated blood products. There was an unacceptable delay between testing for HIV and Hepatitis and notification of the results up to 4 years Links http www.haemophilia society.ie Irish Haemophilia Society Website http 209.85. ... more details
