We present the first two known cases of infantile botulism in Oklahoma. The first case was due to type B toxin; the second was due to type A toxin. Both cases demonstrate most of the classic features of what now appears to be the most common form of botulism. Infantile botulism is an underrecognized but reversible cause of hypotonia. In most cases, the

Wound botulism, a potentially fatal disease, presents with signs and symptoms of food-borne botulism without the gastrointestinal manifestations. All cases have been associated with extremity wounds. The diagnosis is clinical, and aggressive ventilatory support is the cornerstone of successful therapy.

Pediatrics In Review, 1996
Infant botulism was first described in 1976. It is caused by Clostridium botulinum, a gram-positive anaerobic bacillus found most commonly in soil and agricultural products. The organism forms spores and during growth and germination releases a potent neurotoxin that is responsible for the illness.

Medical Journal of Australia, 1980
It is well recognized that food contamination can result in botulism either from ingestion of performed toxin, in classical botulism, or through absorption of toxin from bacteria within the gut, in infant botulism. Botulism due to contamination of wounds with Clostridium botulinum is not commonly recognized. We report a case of wound botulism occurring
