Abstract
Objective: Botulinum toxin type A is widely used for the treatment of spasticity, focal dystonia, hemifacial spasm, hyperhidrosis, strabismus, chronic migraine, and also cosmetic purposes. Therapeutic use is commonly effective and safe. However, if toxin enters the vascular space and gets through to peripheral cholinergic nerve terminals, it may lead to iatrogenic botulism.
Method: We presented a patient who is diagnosed as iatrogenic botulism and treated with antitoxin at the 15th day of the exposure.
Results: After the antitoxin administration, dramatical response to the treatment was observed.
Conclusions: In this report, we want to evaluate a new case of iatrogenic botulism and emphasize the importance of antitoxin administration regardless the timing of the exposure for patients with progressing paralysis.
期刊介绍：
Clinical Neuropharmacology is a peer-reviewed journal devoted to the pharmacology of the nervous system in its broadest sense. Coverage ranges from such basic aspects as mechanisms of action, structure-activity relationships, and drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics, to practical clinical problems such as drug interactions, drug toxicity, and therapy for specific syndromes and symptoms. The journal publishes original articles and brief reports, invited and submitted reviews, and letters to the editor. A regular feature is the Patient Management Series: in-depth case presentations with clinical questions and answers.
