Alpha-1 Antitrypsin and Eosinophilia Protein X are important biomarkers for assessing gastrointestinal inflammation and immune response in newborns. Their levels can provide insight into potential digestive and immune system imbalances early in life. This study investigates the role of gut micro biota in preventing chronic diseases and immune-related conditions. Fecal samples were collected on the third day after birth from 49 healthy newborns in the Neonatology Department of the County Emergency Hospital of Tg. Murex. Of these 34 were delivered naturally and 15 by C section. Stool samples from all newborns were analyzed to assess Alpha-1 Antitrypsin and Eosinophilia Protein X levels using the ELISA method. The analysis was conducted by Ganzimmune Laboratory, Germany. In the study group 52.7% of newborns exhibited elevated Alpha-1 Antitrypsin levels with higher values observed in boys compared to girls. Additionally, 57.0% of newborns had elevated Eosinophilia Protein X levels surpassing the reference threshold. Newborns delivered via C section showed a higher prevalence of elevated Alpha-1 Antitrypsin suggesting increased intestinal permeability and a greater risk of inflammation. Eosinophilia Protein X levels were comparable between both delivery groups indicating similar immune responses. These findings highlight the influence of birth mode on gut biomarkers and reinforce the importance of early micro biota testing for long-term health monitoring. Understanding these early changes could help guide preventive strategies and interventions to support gut health in newborns. Further research is needed to explore the impact of early micro biota alterations on immune system development and their potential role in disease prevention.
