Early antitoxin treatment in wound botulism results in better outcome.

Gregory Youngnam Chang1, Gautam Ganguly.   

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. Copyright 2003 S. Karger AG, Basel
