Abstract

We describe the first case of food-borne botulism seen in New Zealand for 30 years. Botulism is an important diagnosis to consider in a patient with rapidly progressive descending paralysis and normal sensorium. Early recognition, timely institution of intensive care support and administration of botulism antitoxin are the most important aspects of management.

摘要

我们描述了30年来在新西兰发现的首例食源性肉毒中毒病例。对于迅速进展的下行性麻痹且神志正常的患者，肉毒中毒是一个需要考虑的重要诊断。早期识别、及时给予重症监护支持以及使用肉毒中毒抗毒素是治疗的最重要方面。
