متن کاملInfant Botulism: a Summary
Infant botulism is a rare paralytic disease caused by the microorganism Clostridium botulinum.

The toxin is absorbed into the body and carried to the nerve endings, which results in muscular impairment. Infant botulism differs from foodborne botulism in where and when the toxin is produ...
متن کاملInfant Botulism — Diagnosis and Treatment
Botulism is neuromuscular paralysis secondary to a neurotoxin secreted from Clostridium Botulinum bacteria. It is a rare syndrome as a result of food poisoning with the spore-forming clostridium bacteria. The ingested food is contaminated with the pre-secreted botulinum toxin. Infant botulism occurs with the ingestion of the clostridial spores that later germinate and colonize the intestine and...
