Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common life-limiting inherited disease in the Caucasian population. Coagulation disorder in infancy is a rare presentation of CF, with few recent cases reported in the English literature. We report a case of an infant with CF who presented to our hospital with bruising, occult gastrointestinal bleeding, and anemia secondary to vitamin K deficiency.
