Prophylaxis of necrotizing enterocolitis by oral IgA-IgG: Review of a clinical study in low birth weight infants and discussion of the pathogenic role of infection	1990		.txt	text/plain	4408	210	48	title: Prophylaxis of necrotizing enterocolitis by oral IgA-IgG: Review of a clinical study in low birth weight infants and discussion of the pathogenic role of infection Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a severe gastrointestinal disease and an important cause of morbidity and mortality among premature, low birth weight infants (1) . There we described the effective prophylaxis of NEC by administration of an oral IgA-IgG preparation in low birth weight infants for whom breast milk from their mothers was not available. The purpose of the study was to investigate whether feeding of an oral IgA-IgG preparation to low birth weight infants for whom breast milk is not available can effectively prevent NEC. That the IgA-IgG feeding prevented NEC in our study has been further confirmed by the experience that, after termination of the study, the incidence of NEC among all low birth weight infants admitted to our hospital was again comparable to the incidence observed in the control group.	./cache/cord-004657-kmluql8h.txt	./txt/cord-004657-kmluql8h.txt
