  • Title: Early antitoxin treatment in wound botulism results in better outcome.
    Author: Chang GY, Ganguly G.
    Journal: Eur Neurol; 2003; 49(3):151-3. PubMed ID: 12646758.
    Abstract:
    Wound botulism in 7 heroin 'skin poppers' produced ophthalmoplegia and descending paralysis. Rapid recovery occurred in 2 who received the antitoxin within the fourth day of symptom onset. A poor outcome was seen in 4 who received the antitoxin after the eighth day of symptoms and 1 who did not receive the antitoxin. Early antitoxin administration is important in achieving a favorable outcome.
