"I have used Hirudo in 3 cases of recurrent epistaxis. One case gave clear indications for Lachesis [with symptoms like epistaxis worse in sleep, worse in summer, etc.] but gave only a limited response to Lachesis, but was cured with Hirudo. Two of the cases showed a platelet deficiency - in one an actual deficiency in the number and in another a deficiency in quality. All three cases improved and became well on Hirudo 12x given daily for a long period." [Sankaran]
