What You Need To Know

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a serious gastrointestinal condition that typically affects premature infants. In most cases, NEC develops within two to six weeks after birth, when a hole may form in your baby’s intestine. Bacteria can leak into the abdomen or bloodstream through the hole, and intestinal tissue becomes inflamed and dies. Tissue death allows bacteria to enter into the infant’s abdomen because the intestine in no longer able to hold waste. NEC kills approximately 25% of infants affected, and those who require surgery can develop long-term complications.

What Are the Risks for Children With NEC?

  • Abdominal infections: When bacteria enters the abdominal cavity an infection called peritonitis can result, which increases the risk for a life-threatening blood infection called sepsis.
  • Intestinal strictures: A stricture narrows the intestines, making it difficult for food to pass through. Sometimes surgical intervention is necessary as a result.
  • Short bowel syndrome: This may develop if NEC destroys part of the infant’s small intestine, making it hard for the body to absorb fluids and nutrients. It can result in the child needing tube feedings.
  • Growth failure and developmental delays: These are important long-term complications that require close follow-up and monitoring. Poor neurodevelopmental outcomes have also been a result of NEC.
