  • Title: Erythromycin in neonatal postoperative intestinal dysmotility.
    Author: Simkiss DE, Adams IP, Myrdal U, Booth IW.
    Journal: Arch Dis Child Fetal Neonatal Ed; 1994 Sep; 71(2):F128-9. PubMed ID: 7979468.
    Abstract:
    The motilin agonist erythromycin was used successfully in four infants receiving prolonged parenteral nutrition for severe intestinal dysmotility after gastrointestinal surgery. In a further child with a neuropathic intestinal pseudo-obstruction erythromycin induced a striking small intestinal manometric response, but was without effect in a child with an intestinal myopathy.
