Summary
This study looks at whether giving extra arginine (a nutrient) to infants after major bowel surgery or a serious gut infection (NEC) can improve their immune function. Researchers will compare three groups: some get arginine in their IV nutrition, some get it by mouth, and some get standard care. The goal is to see how arginine changes gene activity related to fighting infection.
