Abstract
Severe upper gastrointestinal bleeding is unusual in newborns, and is usually seen in sick premature infants. We report on three healthy full-term neonates who, after uneventful deliveries, presented with profuse bleeding in the first 48 h of life. Two infants had duodenal ulcers and one had diffuse hemorrhagic gastritis. All three patients responded to conservative medical therapy and have shown no recurrence of symptoms during a follow-up period of 1-4 yr.
