| Résumé : | Vitamin K Deficiency Bleeding (VKDB) is a rare haemorrhagic disorder affecting the neonate first described by Townsend (1894) as the “haemorrhagic disease of the newborn”. Yet, the discovery of the deficiency of vitamin K or “Koagulation factor” was made by Dam (1935). This isolation, and ling to neonatal bleeding, led to a substantial (n=13,000) Swedish study by Lehmann (1944) which concluded that neonates who received vitamin K (0.5mg) on their first day of life, experienced a five-fold decrease in the risk of fatal bleeding within their first week of life. Lehmann (1944) estimated vitamin K would save 160:100,000 neonates from dying from VKDB. |
