Abstract
Hirschsprung's disease (HD) is a relatively common cause of intestinal obstruction in the newborn. It is characterized by an absence of ganglion cells in the distal bowel beginning at the internal sphincter and extending proximally for varying distances. The etiology of HD-associated enterocolitis remains a complex issue. This study has provided further support for a possible infectious etiology of enterocolitis complicating HD.Entities:
