Fatal bleeding from gastric ulceration during first day of life--possible association with social stress

R J Pugh et al. Arch Dis Child. 1979 Feb.

Abstract

Death from haemorrhage is described in a 21-hour-old baby boy with acute gastric ulceration. Particular note is made of the very high level of psychosocial maternal stress during the last trimester of pregnancy. A causal relationship of this stress and the peptic ulceration is suggested, with gastrin as the mediator.
