Abstract

Botulizm, Clostridium botulinum türlerine ait nörotoksinin neden olduğu hayatı tehdit eden ve nadir
görülen bir presinaptik nöromüsküler kavşak bozukluğudur. Botulizme neden olan ve botulinum toksini
olarak bilinen bu toksin en kuvvetli ekzotoksindir. Gıda kaynaklı botulizm en yaygın görülen form olup,
önceden oluşmuş toksin ile kontamine gıdaların tüketilmesi ile meydana gelir. Bu durum klinik şiddeti
nedeniyle tıbbi bir acil durumdur ve dünya genelinde birçok ülkede salgınlar bildirilmiştir.
Kırk iki yaşında hasta nefes darlığıyla başvurup hızlı solunum yetmezliğine ilerledi. Solunum yetmezliği
nedeniyle mekanik ventilasyon uygulandı. Elektronöromiyografik olarak botulizm tanısı doğrulandı.
Mekanik ventilatör desteği ve antitoksin uygulanan hasta tam iyileşme ile taburcu edildi.
Botulizm bir toksidrom olmasına rağmen akut nörolojik semptomların ve özellikle yaşamı tehdit eden
akut solunum yetmezliğinin ayırıcı tanısında mutlaka düşünülmesi gerekmektedir

Respiratory Failure Due to Foodborne Botulism: A Rare Case

Year 2023, Volume: 7 Issue: 3, 376 - 379, 31.12.2023

Abstract

Botulism is a life-threatening and rare presynaptic neuromuscular junction disorder caused by a
neurotoxin belonging to Clostridium botulinum species. This toxin, which causes botulism and is known
as botulinum toxin, is the most potent exotoxin. Foodborne botulism is the most common form and is
caused by consuming food contaminated with preformed toxin. This condition is a medical emergency
due to its clinical severity and outbreaks have been reported in many countries around the world.
A 42-year-old patient presented with shortness of breath and progressed to rapid respiratory failure.
Mechanical ventilation was applied due to respiratory failure. The diagnosis of botulism was confirmed
by electroneuromyography. The patient, who was given mechanical ventilator support and antitoxin,
was discharged with full recovery.
Although botulism is a rare toxidrome, it must be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute
neurological symptoms and especially life-threatening acute respiratory failure.
