Botulism: An overlooked cause of bulbar weakness in intensive care: A case report
Introduction: Botulism is a rare but potentially life-threatening syndrome caused by botulinum neurotoxin. The classic presentation of botulism is the acute onset of bilateral cranial neuropathies associated with symmetric descending weakness.

Cranial Neuropathies and Neuromuscular Weakness: A Case of Mistaken Identity
Clinical Practice and Cases in Emergency Medicine, 2017 We describe a case of wound botulism initially thought to represent Miller-Fisher variant Guillain-Barré syndrome (MFS). Botulism classically presents with the so-called “four D’s” (diplopia, dysarthria, dysphagia, dry mouth) with symmetric, descending ...

The Eurasian Journal of Medicine, 2010 Infant botulism is a rare condition caused by intestinal colonization with Clostridium botulinum. The enteric toxin causes intestinal immobility and progressive descending paralysis due to the effect on acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction and other cholinergic nerve terminals, particularly in the gut.

Journal of Perinatology, 2007 Infant botulism results from the absorption of heat-labile neurotoxin produced in situ by ingested Clostridium botulinum. Honey and environmental exposure are the main sources of acquisition of the organism. Clinical manifestations are owing to progressive neuromuscular blockade, initially of muscles innervated by cranial nerves and later of the trunk,
