Acute hemorrhagic gastritis in the newborn infant.
We report three cases of hemorrhagic gastritis in term infants that led to massive bleeding of life--threatening proportions in the first 24 hours of life. In all three cases, bleeding was controlled by conservative therapeutic management. Management of this unusual entity in the newborn infant is discussed.
