Severe haemorrhagic diathesis in an adult patient with cystic fibrosis after long-term antibiotic treatment of pulmonary infection.
    Monaldi archives for chest disease = Archivio Monaldi per le malattie del torace, 1997, Volume: 52, Issue:4

    We describe the case of a 22 yr old male patient with cystic fibrosis, who, after long-term antibiotic treatment of pulmonary infection, developed a haemorrhagic diathesis with severe bleeding from the mucus membrane of the mouth, and haematuria. Rapid recovery was observed after infusion of vitamin K. During 8 months of follow-up, no evidence of recurrence of the clotting disturbances and anaemia were noted. The combination of impaired absorption of vitamin K due to underlying disease with the antibiotic-induced suppression of vitamin K synthesis by intestinal bacteria could be a possible explanation for this disorder.
