Abstract

ABSTRACT: Cow's milk protein intolerance (CMPI) is a common condition that causes gastrointestinal bleeding in the first year of life. It is the most common cause of chronic blood loss and anemia; however, severe massive hematemesis is an uncommon condition. Herein, we present a case of severe massive hematemesis with melena stool in a six-month-old boy with cow's milk protein intolerance. In this case, we described management used in poor developing countries.
