The vitamin K-dependent hemostatic factors are present in reduced quantities at birth and may decrease further in the first few days of life. Administration of vitamin K1 on day 1 prevents hemorrhagic disease of the newborn. Maternal ingestion of anticonvulsants puts the newborn at greater risk from hemorrhage, possibly as a result of induction of fetal microsomal enzymes with a resultant increased oxidative degradation of vitamin K which gives rise to a vitamin K deficiency and other concomitant clinical results, for example skeletal defects. Evidence for this sequence of events is presented and the widespread effect of vitamin K deficiency on the fetus is discussed.
