phytomenadione/過敏症

Cutaneous reactions to vitamin K1 (phytomenadione) are uncommon. They can present as acute eczematous reactions or late reactions that resemble localized scleroderma after vitamin K1 injections. A case is reported here of a patient who developed bilateral sclerodermoid plaques in a cowboy's holster

BACKGROUND Skin reactions after vitamin K injections are uncommon and only seen with vitamin K1 (phytomenadione). Possible association with liver disease is debated. The pathophysiological mechanism would be related to hypersensitivity to phytomenadione. METHODS Two new cases of hypersensitivity

Parenteral vitamin K1 (phytonadione) is used for anticoagulant reversal, and a boxed warning exists with intravenous and intramuscular administration due to the possibility of severe reactions, including fatalities. These reactions resemble hypersensitivity or anaphylaxis, including anaphylactoid

Anticoagulation with antivitamin K (AVK) is very effective for primary and secondary prevention of thromboembolic events. However, questions persist about the risks and management of over-anticoagulation. For reversal of excessive anticoagulation by warfarin, AVK withdrawal, oral or parenteral
