Case Study Advanced Pathophysiology: Chapter 19 Disorders of Motor Function (Grossman & Porth)
The parents bring their 3-month-old infant to the urgent care you work at complaining that he has had constipation for 5 days that was preceded by weakness for several weeks. Upon physical exam, you note hypotonia, hyperreflexia, and respiratory distress. You advise the parents you believe the child needs to be admitted to hospital and taken immediately to the local pediatric emergency room.
I believe this infant has infant botulism - am I correct????
