[Neonatal hematemesis caused by peptic esophagitis].
Five full term neonates presented with haematemeses on one of the first three days of life. All but one had been given vitamin K at birth. Two out of five had clotting abnormalities that suggested vitamin K deficiency. All had evidence of hiatus hernia and, on oesophagoscopy, had evidence of peptic oesophagitis. Bleeding is another complication of neonatal peptic oesophagitis.
