Neuromuscular Physiology of Wound Botulism
Archives of Neurology, 1973A patient with probable wound botulism survived on assisted ventilation without guanidine or antitoxin treatment and recovered completely. Diagnosis was aided by electrophysiologic technique indicating a defect in the neuromuscular junction similar to the Eaton-Lambert syndrome.

Wound botulism in the UK and Ireland
Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2004There are three main, naturally occurring, epidemiological types of botulism: food-borne, intestinal colonization (infant botulism) and wound botulism. The neurological signs and symptoms are the same for all three epidemiological types and may include respiratory paralysis.

Ocular Involvement in Wound Botulism
Archives of Ophthalmology, 1977A 7-year-old girl developed bilateral ptosis, total ophthalmoplegia, and fixed, dilated pupils associated with bulbar paralysis and generalized weakness six days after she sustained a compound supracondylar fracture of the right humerus. Nerve conduction studies showed a facilitated muscle action potential after repetitive nerve stimulation.

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1983
Botulism is usually associated with the ingestion of food contaminated with Clostridium botulinum, and these organisms occasionally contaminate traumatic injuries. It is unusual for them to result in clinical infection, but when this occurs, it is a catastrophe completely out of proportion to the degree of wound injury.

JAMA, 1974
A wound infection contaminated with Clostridium botulinum is a little-appreciated cause of botulism, and may be more common than the literature suggests.

Prolonged Respiratory Paralysis in Wound Botulism
Chest, 1979Two patients had wound botulism with longer duration of respiratory paralysis than previously described. Each sustained extensive trauma to soft tissues and grossly contaminated wounds when thrown from a vehicle in a rural area. Progressive muscular weakness and respiratory distress occurred 8 and 13 days after injury, in the presence of infected ...

Wound Botulism Associated With Black Tar Heroin [PDF]
Academic Emergency Medicine, 1997 ABSTRACTThe incidence of wound botulism is increasing and the epidemiology of the disease is changing. The majority of new cases are associated with injection drug use, in particular, the use of Mexican black tar heroin. This case report and discussion of wound botulism illustrate the following important points: Dysphagia, dysphonia, diplopia, and ...

Oropharyngeal Dysphagia in Wound Botulism
Asia Pacific Journal of Speech, Language and Hearing, 2009AbstractBotulism results in a symmetric bulbar paralysis due to neuroparalytic toxins produced by Clostridium botulinum. These toxins block release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction, resulting in paralysis. Several forms of botulism occur, all rare in the United States.
