Foodborne botulism in the first trimester of gestation
Original language description
Objective: Botulism is a rare paralytic disease, causes a spectrum of illness from mild cranial nerve paralysis to acute respiratory failure. Botulism has not been associated with any direct adverse effect on the foetus, however only 2 of 17 published cases to date describes botulism during the first trimester of pregnancy. Case report: We present a case of a foodborne botulism in a 29-year-old woman at 11 weeks of gestation. The clinical signs included nausea, vomiting, headache, disturbances of accommodation, double vision and dry mouth. Botulinum toxin B was detected, therapy with equine botulinum antitoxin was successful. Ultrasound at 12 weeks of gestation revealed a normal foetus development. Woman was discharged 24 days after the onset of illness with mild blurred vision. At 42 weeks of gestation, she spontaneously delivered a healthy 3,650 g boy; his growth and development was normal. Conclusion: Botulism during the first trimester of pregnancy resulted in full recovery of the mother and spontaneous delivery of child without any developmental sequel.
