A clinical case of severe food-borne botulism in pregnant
https://doi.org/10.17021/1992-6499-2025-3-101-107
Abstract
Food-borne botulism is a severe and often deadly food-borne bacterial poisoning. 300-500 cases of the disease are registered annually in Russia, and in 2024 an outbreak was recorded with 417 people infected in 11 regions of the country. Botulism in pregnant women is particularly dangerous. The study of such cases is of scientific interest, as it allows us to assess the effect of the disease not only on the pregnant woman's body, but also on her fetus, to determine the features of the course of the disease in this category of patients, the effectiveness, timeliness, safety and adequacy of medical care and treatment. The article describes a case of severe food-borne botulism in a woman at the 28th week of pregnancy with the release of botulinum toxin type A + E, and a successful temporary resolution of pregnancy. There was no adverse effect of botulism on the course of pregnancy, fetal development and delivery. The paper provides an analysis of the clinical picture of food-borne botulism.
