Necrotizing Enter colitis (NEC) is the 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 wall of the bowel. NEC can develop in any new born within 2 weeks after birth. However it is most common in pre mature infants.NEC can be staged into three groups, to guide appropriate treatment based on the work of Bell et al. . In general, stage I and II are managed medically whereas stage III is managed surgically.Trigger factors (i.e. prenatal hypoxia, mild infection or formula feeding) cause focal mild intestinal mucosal injury. In the presence of proliferation of commensal bacteria, local breakdown of mucosal barrier may cause entry of bacterial products (e.g. lipo polysaccharides, platelet-activating factor). Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the knowledge regarding necrotizing enterocolitis Method And Materials: A pre experimental study used to accomplish the objectives.
