Two neonates with a history of diarrhea, abrupt apnea, and suspected sepsis were proved to have infantile botulism. Initial symptoms in both infants suggested other diagnoses. Electrophysiologic studies were important in confirming the diagnosis. Early severe infantile botulism may be rare but should be considered in neonates who have hypotonia and respiratory arrest or a sepsis-like clinical picture.
两名有腹泻、突发呼吸暂停病史且疑似败血症的新生儿被证实患有婴儿肉毒中毒。两名婴儿的初始症状提示了其他诊断。电生理研究对确诊很重要。早期严重婴儿肉毒中毒可能罕见，但对于出现肌张力减退和呼吸骤停或败血症样临床表现的新生儿应予以考虑。
