Infant reflux becomes evident in the first few months of life, peaks at 4 months and resolves in up to 88% by 12 months and in nearly all by 24 months. Infantile reflux manifests more often with regurgitation, signs of esophagitis and resulting failure to thrive. We report the case of two months old male child with GERD with non-resolving pneumonia only relieved after surgical intervention.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
