Two Case of Botulism Developed after Endoscopic Clostridium Botulinum Toxin Administration to the Stomach Wall

Abstract

Every year, the United States records about 200 cases of botulism. Those who inject substances such as heroin, use homemade alcohol, and eat improperly prepared canned food are at risk of contracting this extremely rare disease. As seen in this case, those treated with Clostridium Botulinum Toxin are also considered to be in the risk group. However, iatrogenic botulism cases are much rare; and in the literature, case reports of botulism after intragastric Clostridium Botulinum Toxin administration are rare. We aimed to present these cases to draw attention to this rare condition in patients who presented to the emergency department with complaints such as weakness, dyspnea, and diarrhea.
