Infant botulism in Denmark from 1995 to 2015.
CONCLUSIONS: Infant botulism is probably underdiagnosed. Increased awareness is crucial to be able to recognise the condition. The time delay from hospital admission to administration of BIG-IV is challenging. Studies have shown that BIG-IV reduces both mean duration of intensive care and mean length of hospital stay; however, this was not confirmed in our work due to the limited number of patients.
FUNDING: none.
TRIAL REGISTRATION: not relevant.
