“…It has been shown that botulism is caused by a potent neurotoxin that blocks neuromuscular transmission, resulting in suffocation [37]. Gastrointestinal symptoms are common in food botulism (nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, dry mouth) and may precede neurological syndromes [38]. It has been found that botulism can lead to small bowel obstruction and, if misdiagnosed, can lead to rapid clinical deterioration [39].…”

B OTULISM is a rare neuroparalytic syndrome, caused by a neurotoxin produced by bacteria of the genus Clostridium. Signs and symptoms of food botulism begin 12 to 36 hours after the toxin enters the bloodstream .Clostridium botulinum is one of the most common life-threatening agents worldwide, producing the botulinum neurotoxin (BoNT). Poisoning is caused by the consumption of a highly toxic exotoxin produced during the growth of microorganisms in food. The growth of Clostridium botulinum strains and their production of toxins in vacuum processed foods have received special attention. Symptoms of botulism may appear 12 to 72 hours after eating foods that contain toxins, such as canned tuna, local dairy products, and home-made or commercial foods. Symptoms of poisoning include nausea, vomiting, bruising, dizziness and headache, dry skin, sore throat, constipation, mild fever (or no fever), muscle paralysis, diplopia, and eventually respiratory problems and death. On the other hand, botulinum neurotoxin is used in medicine and psychiatry. BoNT is involved in the management and control of many diseases such as depression and Parkinson's, dermatitis such as psoriasis, as well as in the beauty and elimination of facial skin wrinkles.

“…Спорадические случаи пищевого Б и первые пациенты при групповых заболеваниях в силу отсутствия лихорадки и нарастающей доминирующей неврологической симптоматики, как правило, госпитализируются в неинфекционные стационары [4][5][6]23], что требует проведения дифференциальной диагностики с широким кругом заболеваний. Многие исследователи отмечают, что, поскольку оценка степени выраженности неврологической симптоматики при Б носит субъективный характер, возможны диагностические ошибки не только в установлении тяжести состояния больного, но и в диагностике самого заболевания [24].…”

“…В России ежегодно регистрируется около 300 случаев Б [3]. Хотя пищевой Б, как правило, характеризуется групповыми случаями заболеваниями, тем не менее могут регистрироваться и спорадические, которые вызывают большие трудности в своевременной диагностике [5,6].…”

The article describes a clinical observation of a severe course of a sporadic case of foodborne botulism in a woman at 32 weeks gestation with a successful resolution of pregnancy by independent childbirth. No adverse effects of botulism on pregnancy, delivery, and fetal development were noted. Anti-botulinum serum was administered to the patient no earlier than 96 hours from the onset of the disease. The paper analyzes the clinical picture of botulism, on the basis of which it is necessary to carry out a differential diagnosis.
