Retrospective Epidemiological Study on Botulism in Intensive Care Units in France
Sponsor: Centre Hospitalier le Mans
Summary
Botulism poisoning is a rare but serious illness. Because of it's low incidence, it is not well known by physicians. Most studies describing botulism date back to the last century and do not take into account recent advances in intensive care. The objective of this study is to describe the clinical course, interventions and outcomes of patients with severe botulism poisoning requiring a hospitalisation in an intensive care or high dependancy unit.
