Abstract
Leeches ( Hirudo medicinalis ) have been used in health care for their property of bloodletting. Bleed occurring from the site of leech attachment has been well documented. We report a 50-year-old man who was on aspirin therapy for coronary artery disease, and presented with GI bleed after leech treatment for his knee pain.Entities:
