Thomas Carine loves to play baseball. He also shoots basketballs, scales walls, sails boats and plays flag football. His mother, Nina, says, the 11-year-old Saratoga native "lives and breathes" sports. Based on his active life, few would guess that Thomas has severe hemophilia. Individuals with severe hemophilia bleed spontaneously, usually into joints and soft tissues. If severe hemophiliacs are wounded, they can experience serious bleeding. A head wound can be life threatening. Hemophiliacs don't bleed to death if they get minor scratches. But they do have problems with blood clotting. Hemophiliacs lack one of 13 proteins, or "factors," needed for blood to clot. Only about 20,000 individuals in the United States, and one in 10,000 individuals worldwide, have hemophilia.
