Abstract
We describe 2 cases of mild botulism in patients who inhaled cocaine. Botulism, though rare, is increasing in incidence among illicit drug users. To our knowledge, these are the first cases of botulism in illicit drug users in France. Clinicians should be aware of this phenomenon; botulism should be considered in illicit drug users with neurological symptoms.Entities:
