| Popis: | In Reply.— We agree with Aballi that a combination of factors placed our patient1 at high risk for vitamin K deficiency during her first month of life. These factors include decreased intestinal absorption of vitamin K due to the cholestatic liver disease of α-1-antitrypsin deficiency and a diet consisting solely of breast milk which is known to have little vitamin K. Aballi correctly points out the lack of data on the role of vitamin K in preventing late-onset hemorrhagic disease. |
