Environmental enteropathy (EE or tropical enteropathy or environmental enteric dysfunction) is a disorder of chronic intestinal inflammation.[2][3][1] EE is most common amongst children living in low-resource settings.[2][3][1] Acute symptoms are typically minimal or absent.[3] EE can lead to malnutrition, anemia (iron-deficiency anemia and anemia of chronic inflammation),[2] growth stunting, impaired brain development,[4][5][6] and impaired response to oral vaccinations.[7][8]
