Een neonaat met een navelstompbloeding

A 7-day-old neonate was admitted to our neonatal ward for umbilical stump bleeding. His medical history included hyperbilirubinaemia due to cephalic haematoma. Only after the administration of fresh frozen plasma, the bleeding stopped, suggesting coagulation factor deficiency. Elaborate coagulation tests showed factor XIII-deficiency.
