We report a case of botulism in a 40 day old infant. The patient presented a descending flaccid paralysis requiring mechanical ventilation for 12 days. She is the first European patient treated with Human Botulism Immune Globulin. A few weeks later a second case of infant botulism was detected in our geographical region in Southern Spain. We emphasise the importance of an early diagnosis and treatment with Human Botulism Immune Globulin to decrease morbidity.
我们报告了一例40日龄婴儿肉毒中毒的病例。该患者出现下行性弛缓性麻痹,需要机械通气12天。她是首例接受人源性肉毒中毒免疫球蛋白治疗的欧洲患者。几周后,在西班牙南部我们所在地区又检测到一例婴儿肉毒中毒病例。我们强调早期诊断并用人源性肉毒中毒免疫球蛋白进行治疗对于降低发病率的重要性。
