Abstract

Botulism is a rare, potentially lethal paralytic disease characterized by cranial nerve palsies, descending flaccid muscle paralysis, and possible involvement of the diaphragm and other respiratory muscles. Here, we report, to our knowledge, the first case of recurrent botulism type B in the United States, caused by repetitive ingestion of contaminated homemade hot chili pepper in oil from the same jar.

摘要

肉毒中毒是一种罕见的、可能致命的麻痹性疾病，其特征为颅神经麻痹、下行性弛缓性肌肉麻痹，以及膈肌和其他呼吸肌可能受累。在此，据我们所知，我们报告了美国首例复发性B型肉毒中毒病例，该病例由重复食用来自同一罐受污染的自制辣椒油引起。
