Infant botulism is a rare but sometimes life-threatening toxemia caused by ingestion of spores. Although cases of infant botulism have probably occurred in Vietnam in the past, they have never been diagnosed and reported. Herein, we report the isolation of type A(B) from the stool of a 10-month-old infant during hospitalization.
婴儿肉毒中毒是一种罕见但有时会危及生命的毒血症,由摄入孢子引起。尽管过去越南可能发生过婴儿肉毒中毒病例,但从未得到诊断和报告。在此,我们报告在一名10个月大婴儿住院期间从其粪便中分离出A(B)型(肉毒杆菌)。
