Abstract
The motilin agonist erythromycin was used successfully in four infants receiving prolonged parenteral nutrition for severe intestinal dysmot ility after gastrointestinal surgery. In a further child with a neurop athic intestinal pseudo-obstruction erythromycin induced a striking sm all intestinal manometric response, but was without effect in a child with an intestinal myopathy.
