Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is an inflammatory disease affecting premature infants. Intestinal microbial composition may play a key role in determining which infants are predisposed to NEC and when infants are at highest risk of developing NEC. It is unclear how to optimize antibiotic therapy in preterm infants to prevent NEC and how to optimize ...

Clinics in Perinatology, 2008
In necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) the small (most often distal) and/or large bowel becomes injured, develops intramural air, and may progress to frank necrosis with perforation. Even with early, aggressive treatment, the progression of necrosis, which is highly characteristic of NEC, can lead to sepsis and death.

Necrotizing enterocolitis

Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 1998
Necrotizing enterocolitis is a relatively common disorder of unknown etiology that primarily affects premature newborns. The majority of babies with necrotizing enterocolitis respond to nonsurgical management, and, despite an increase in the number of premature infants, the surgical mortality rate has improved.
