A 5-month-old child can have a colonoscopy even if he has blood in his stool

  However, because of the low incidence of the disease in children, clinicians often pay little attention to prompting the corresponding examination. In our hospital, the colonoscopy was successfully completed for a 5-month-old child under general anesthesia in only 25 minutes, and the child woke up smoothly after the procedure without tracheal intubation, which is a truly non-invasive examination. The child had an erosive inflammation of the intestinal mucosa with bleeding, which was a key guide for clinicians in the next step of treatment.
