Fournier also mentions a curious case of diapedesis in a woman injured by a cow.

The animal struck her in the epigastric region, she fell unconscious, and soon after vomited great quantities of blood, and continued with convulsive efforts of expulsion to eject blood periodically from every eight to fifteen days, losing possibly a pound at each paroxysm.

There was no alteration of her menses.

A physician gave her astringents, which partly suppressed the vomiting, but the hemorrhage changed to the skin, and every day she sweated blood from the chest, back of the thighs, feet, and the extremities of the fingers.

When the blood ceased to flow from her skin she lost her appetite, became oppressed, and was confined to her bed for some days.
