Vitamin K is commonly indicated in pediatric patients with coagulopathies. Its commercial preparations are available in the market since long. Minor complications are very well-known, but life-threatening events are rarely reported in children. We present a case of 8-year-old child who developed life-threatening event following intravenous Vitamin K injection. She was survived after cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The reaction was most probably due to anaphylactoid reaction to Vitamin K.
维生素K常用于患有凝血障碍的儿科患者。其商业制剂早已在市场上有售。轻微并发症广为人知,但儿童中危及生命的事件鲜有报道。我们报告一例8岁儿童在静脉注射维生素K后发生危及生命事件的病例。经心肺复苏后她存活下来。该反应很可能是对维生素K的类过敏反应。
