title: Factor VII inhibitor.
abstract: Acquired inhibitors of blood coagulation factors occur spontaneously or secondarily to various diseases or drug administration. A clinically significant factor VII inhibitor is very rare. We report a patient developing factor VII inhibitor possibly as a reaction to penicillin administration; it gave rise to fatal haemorrhage.
