Abstract

A severe deficiency of vitamin K dependent coagulation factors presenting 25 days after birth in an apparently healthy breast-fed infant is reported. The administration of antibiotics to the lactating mother, and lack of a vitamin K supplement to the new-born baby were possible predisposing factors.
