Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon (KMP) is a rare potentially life-threatening consumptive coagulopathy characterized by thrombocytopenia and hypofibrinogenemia occurring associated with the vascular tumors kaposiform hemangioendothelioma (KHE) and tufted angioma (TA).A 10-month old male infant, diagnosed with KHE on his left leg, underwent a rapid increase of the lesion and severe thrombocytopenia, one day after the first dose of inactivated Japanese encephalitis (JE) vaccination. The episode of KMP was treated successfully by steroid.KMP is a rare complication of vaccination that physicians should be aware of. Giving up the following vaccination to provide the recurrence of KMP is not recommended.
