RESUMO

A 36-month-old child had spontaneous hemorrhage from her nose, mouth, and urinary tract, and a fall in hemoglobin of 20 gm/L (2 gm/dl). The prothrombin time and partial thromboplastin time were markedly prolonged with a decrease in the vitamin K-dependent factors. The child had ingested brodifacoum, a long-acting rodenticide. Prolonged follow-up and treatment with vitamin K were necessary.
