First symptoms are usually anemia, fatigue, shortness of breath, and becoming tired easily through physical activity. The child may get sick often and have difficulty fighting off the illnesses. This is followed by bruising and nosebleeds, as well as an inability to clot when bleeding. It is usually accompanied by a poor appetite and pain in the bones and joints.
