A Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patient With Severe Diabetic Gastroparesis Successfully Treated With Intravenous Erythromycin.
Curēus 2023 November
Gastroparesis, characterized by a decrease in gastric emptying, can lead to worsened diabetes control and a reduced quality of life. The patient was a 32-year-old male with type 2 diabetes. He was initially admitted for control of diabetes, and two months later, he was readmitted due to nausea and vomiting. He showed resistance to various drugs, including antiemetics, and an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed significant gastric residue, leading to a diagnosis of gastroparesis. We administered intravenous erythromycin. After three days of treatment, the vomiting resolved. Gastroparesis is challenging to manage, and there are limited effective treatment options. We experienced a case of diabetic gastroparesis with severe vomiting and loss of appetite that responded remarkably well to intravenous erythromycin treatment. Intravenous administration of erythromycin may be a potentially effective treatment for gastroparesis.
