Abstract
Death from hemorrhage is described in a 21 h old baby boy with acute gastric ulceration. Particular reference is made to the very high level of psychosocial maternal stress during the last trimester of pregnancy. A causal relationship of this stress and the peptic ulceration is suggested, with gastrin as the mediator.Keywords
