Necrotizing enterocolitis and appendicitis in preterm infants
Journal Title: Jornal de Pediatria - Year 2018, Vol 94, Issue 5
Abstract
Dear Editor, I read with great interest the article entitled “There is an association between disease location and gestational age at birth in newborns submitted to surgery due to necrotizing enterocolitis”, by Feldens et al., published in the Journal of Pediatrics,1 and we have observed surgical descriptions that corroborate those found in that study regarding the different locations of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC).
