Abstract
Necrotizing enterocolitis is an important disease in infants born premature. However, other disease entities present with similar signs and symptoms. This series reviews 5 atypical cases initially diagnosed as necrotizing enterocolitis that may be more consistent with food protein-induced enterocolitis. Food protein-induced enterocolitis may be underdiagnosed in this population.
