A healthy newborn experienced upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to gastric ulcers and duodenal eosinophils. The condition resolved with conservative management, but the cause remains undetermined.

Area of Science:

Neonatal Medicine
Pediatric Gastroenterology
Pathology

Background:

Neonatal hematemesis is a rare but serious condition requiring prompt evaluation.
Gastrointestinal bleeding in newborns can stem from various etiologies, including mucosal injury.

Observation:

A term-healthy neonate presented with hematemesis (vomiting blood) in the newborn nursery.
Physical examination and diagnostic workup revealed gastric ulcers and duodenal eosinophilic infiltration.

Findings:

The neonate's condition was successfully managed conservatively with supportive care.
Resolution of clinical symptoms and endoscopic findings (gastric ulcers) was observed over time.

Implications:

This case highlights the potential for gastric ulcers and duodenal eosinophilia in neonates presenting with hematemesis.

Keywords:

eosinophils hematemesis melena newborn ulcer
