Pediatrics In Review, 2016 Botulism, caused by exposure to the botulinum toxin, is characterized by a symmetric, flaccid, and descending paralysis. There are four naturally occurring forms of botulism—foodborne botulism, infant botulism, adult intestinal botulism, and wound ...

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

Botulism occurring in patients with wounds has been thought of as a rare disease. A patient with a lacerating wound of his hand and wrist and an avulsion of his fourth finger developed diplopia, dizziness, and slurred speech one week later, followed by generalized weakness and difficulty in swallowing.

Botulism is a rare disease with 4 naturally occurring syndromes: foodborne botulism is caused by ingestion of foods contaminated with botulinum toxin, wound botulism is caused by Clostridium botulinum colonization of a wound and in situ toxin production, infant botulism is caused by intestinal colonization and toxin production, and adult intestinal ...

Botulinum toxin is the most potent toxin known to humans and as little as 100 ng can be lethal. The toxin blocks peripheral cholinergic neurotransmission at the neuromuscular junction and cholinergic autonomic nervous system by introducing an endopeptadase enzyme into the presynaptic side of the synapse.

Botulism has not traditionally been considered as occurring in infants under one year of age because they generally do not ingest foods potentially containing preformed Clostridium botulinum toxin. We report a case of infantile botulism in a 3 1/2 month old infant who presented as a "floppy baby," and discuss the probable pathobiology involved.

Abstract A 57-year-old woman with a fatal disease, presumably botulism, was treated intermittently with guanidine hydrochloride over a 20-day period. Guanidine was given because it enhances the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction. During treatment, ptosis and extraocular palsies were relieved, strength in proximal muscles improved ...

Botulism should be considered in cases where weakness, paralysis, or intolerance to exercise might be seen in the horse. Dysphagia may also be present, although it is not a consistent finding. Potential sources include carrion in hay, moldy or otherwise rotted vegetation or forage, birds carrying material from animal burial or other similar sites, and ...

Wound botulism is a rare infectious and toxicologic complication of trauma and i.v. drug abuse. Only 39 cases have been reported in detail in the English literature. This case report describes a patient with wound botulism who presented to four medical facilities before receiving definitive diagnosis and treatment.
