“…A variety of other antitoxin combinations are reported in Figure 6, including quadrivalent ABEF [43], monovalent A [48], monovalent E [18,49], and a combination of bivalent AB formulation and monovalent E formulation [50,51]. The small number of deaths from botulism reported in patients treated with these agents precludes a statistical assessment of their impact on clinical outcomes.…”
