Abstract

A 14 month old infant was referred to a vaseei Hospital from badkhoran village (a rural area of Sabzewar city) due to hematemesis and melena from 3 days ago. On arrival he was pale and ill looking with active bleeding from the mouth. The bleeding persisted in spite of active management with gastric lavage, intravenous omperazol, Vit K injection, FFP and blood transfusion.  Physical examination and Emergency lab dates were negative for special etiologic findings. The patient re examined and a leech attached to the posterior pharyngeal wall was detected. The bleeding stopped soon after the removal of the leech and the patient was discharged from the hospital in good condition.
