    Author: Cobb DB, Watson WA, Fernandez MC.
    Journal: Vet Hum Toxicol; 2000 Jun; 42(3):163. PubMed ID: 10839321.
    Abstract:
    Botulinum type A toxin (BTA) is an orphan drug used to treat several disorders of muscle spasticity. We report the first known case of systemic botulism-like syndrome induced by BTA therapy which resulted in respiratory arrest. Clinicians should be aware that systemic effects may occur with localized BTA therapy and may be life-threatening.
