  • Title: [Botulinum poisoning in adults: a case report and differential diagnosis].
    Author: Tomasini A, Berlot G, Viviani M, Beltrame F, Masé G, Gullo A.
    Journal: Minerva Med; 1995; 86(7-8):323-6. PubMed ID: 7478077.
    Abstract:
    The authors reports the case of a patient with quadriplegia associated with respiratory failure. A few days before, a paralysis of the oculomotor nerves appeared, which rapidly spreads in cranio-caudal fashion. The occurrence of a similar symptomatology in a patients' relative addressed the diagnosis toward a possible Clostridium botulinum intoxication. Other possible differential diagnoses are reviewed and discussed.
