ROCHA ORTUNO, Edgar; MONROY DELGADILLO, Manuel A.  and  ROCHA FUENTES, Martha. Late form of hemorrhagic disease of newborn. A case report. Rev. bol. ped. [online]. 2008, vol.47, n.3, pp. 163-165. ISSN 1024-0675.

The Late Hemorrhage of the newborn is a little known entity, which is why we present the case of an infant of 2 months admitted at the Pediatric Center Albina R Patino, with the late diagnostic of Late Hemorrhage of the newborn. The importance lies in the complications that this entity brings and is a disease that is preventable with the administration of 1 mg of vitamin K intramuscular in the newborn.

Keywords : late hemorrhage; newborn; vitamin K.
