Core Tip	Despite optimal surgery, children with a history of Hirschsprung’s disease (HSCR) complicated by Hirschsprung’s-associated enterocolitis (HAEC) are at higher risk of long-term colonic dysfunction. Tryptophan hydroxylase-2 (TPH2) is a surrogate marker for neuronal 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT). We hypothesized that expression of TPH2 is altered in the colon of children with HAEC. We found the density of serotonergic nerves to be differentially reduced in the ganglionic colon of children with HSCR and HAEC compared to those without HAEC compared to controls, although expression is normalized in those with diverting colostomy. Abnormal neuronal 5-HT expression may contribute to post-operative colonic dysfunction in HSCR.
