Abstract

Botulism has not traditionally been considered as occurring in infants under one year of age because they generally do not ingest foods potentially containing preformed Clostridium botulinum toxin. We report a case of infantile botulism in a 3 1/2 month old infant who presented as a "floppy baby," and discuss the probable pathobiology involved.

摘要

传统上，肉毒中毒并不被认为会发生在一岁以下的婴儿身上，因为他们通常不会摄入可能含有预先形成的肉毒杆菌毒素的食物。我们报告了一例3个半月大婴儿患婴儿肉毒中毒的病例，该婴儿表现为“松软婴儿”，并讨论了其中可能涉及的病理生物学机制。
