Botulism is a rare but potentially fatal disease caused by toxins produced by Clostridium botulinum. We report a case of botulism in a 38-year-old man after eating canned "garlic in chilli-oil". The patient was treated with antiserum. The diagnosis was confirmed by detection of botulinum B toxin by a bio-assay and growth of Clostridium botulinum from the food left-overs.
肉毒中毒是一种由肉毒杆菌产生的毒素引起的罕见但可能致命的疾病。我们报告一例38岁男性在食用罐装“辣椒油蒜”后发生肉毒中毒的病例。该患者接受了抗血清治疗。通过生物测定法检测到B型肉毒毒素以及从剩余食物中培养出肉毒杆菌,从而确诊了该病例。
