[Botulism: A case report and literature review].

CONCLUSION: Although botulism is uncommon, better awareness of its manifestations and high clinical suspicion should shorten diagnostic delay that makes the use of specific antitoxin ineffective. An acute onset of a bilateral oculomotor palsy, a fixed pupillary dilation and descending weakness in the absence of fever is typical of botulism. Outcome is usually favorable with a slow but full neurological recovery. PMID: 32061395 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
