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.

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.

Infant botulism is a unique neuromuscular disease affecting infants less than six months old. It is the result of intraintestinal toxin production by C. botulinum (toxi-infection). Characteristic symptoms include constipation, lethargy, and decreased feeding.

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.

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
