Clinical and epidemiological characteristics of botulism
We analyzed the clinical picture and epidemiology of botulism diseases in 6 foci of infection (20 patients — 16 men and 4 women).
In one outbreak, 4 people fell ill after eating home-made canned pork stew. 2 of them recovered, and 2 died with symptoms of respiratory failure. In 1 patient from this focus, botulinum toxin type B was found in the blood, and a bacillus of type B botulism was isolated from the urine.
