Date:12/19/2007

High levels of Type III von Willebrand Disease, a serious, hereditary

bleeding disorder, found in region

KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., Dec. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- CSL Behring today announced that Iran's Ministry of Health and Medical Education (MOHME) has granted rights to the company to distribute Haemate(R) P on an exclusive basis throughout Iran, beginning immediately. Haemate P is indicated for the treatment of von Willebrand Disease, a serious, hereditary, and sometimes life-threatening condition caused by a deficiency or abnormality of the von Willebrand factor, a protein in the blood that is necessary for normal blood clotting. Women with some forms of von Willebrand Disease (VWD) are at greater risk for miscarriage, life-threatening bleeding following surgery and childbirth, and for undergoing unnecessary hysterectomies.
