What is NEC?

NEC is a gastrointestinal disease, mostly affecting premature infants where infection and inflammation cause destruction of the bowel or part of the bowel.  This disease is the most common and serious gastrointestinal disorder among premature infants.  It usually occurs during the first two weeks of life, after feeding has begun.  Infants with this disease are more prone to infection and have some difficulty with blood and oxygen circulation and digestion.
