Effects of 4-aminopyridine in Eaton Lambert Syndrome
Abstract
The effects of 4-aminopyridine (a non-anticholinesterase antagonist of curare-like agents) on the evoked muscle action potentials (EMAP) in a patient with Eaton Lambert Syndrome are reported. On two separate occasions the i.v. administration of 0.31 mg kg(-1) and 0.62 mg kg(-1) was followed by a 300% increase of EMAP for about 2 h without serious side-effects.
