Abstract
During a study of the intestinal permeability of newborn babies, three exhibited a sudden increase in lactulose absorption in association with the passage of bloody stools. An enhanced intestinal permeability may be an expression of the disruption of mucosal integrity in necrotising enterocolitis.Keywords
