intestinal disorder necrotizing enterocolitis https://github.com/monarch-initiative/mondo/issues/9097 NCIT:C84915 EFO:0003928 Orphanet:391673 UMLS:C0520459 MONDO:0005313 Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a devastating disease that affects mostly the intestine of premature infants. The wall of the intestine is invaded by bacteria, which cause local infection and inflammation that can ultimately destroy the wall of the bowel (intestine). Such bowel wall destruction can lead to perforation of the intestine and spillage of stool into the infant's abdomen, which can result in an overwhelming infection and death.
