Abstract
Absolute nucleated red blood cell counts for 23 preterm newborn infants who subsequently had development of necrotizing enterocolitis were significantly higher than for 23 control infants. These infants may have been exposed to relative intrauterine hypoxemia, a possible risk factor for the development of necrotizing enterocolitis.
