In investigations of 32 patients with hemophilia A and 28 patients with hemophilia B, the possiblity of utilizing the trypsin clotting time (K-test) was tested in diagnosing both diseases. Plasma (23) of healthy test persons were used as controls and revealed a mean value of the K-test amounting to 24.52 .+-. 0.75. With a mean value of 30.035 .+-. 2.88 s, the K-test was clearly, and from a statistical point of view significantly, prolonged in hemophilia B, contrary to hemophilia A, with a slight prolongation amounting to 26.95 .+-. 2.03. Possible causes for the response of the trypsin clotting time are discussed.
