Abstract
Hypoprothrombinemic states are commonly treated with injectable vitami n K. Cutaneous vitamin K hypersensitivity can manifest as eczematous o r sclerodermoid lesions and historically has been related to the use o f fat-soluble vitamin K1. We present a case of warfarin-induced hypopr othrombinemia treated with aqueous vitamin K1, which resulted in the a ppearance of eczematous vitamin K1 hypersensitivity.
