title: Infantile botulism: a case report.
abstract: Although rare, botulism should be a consideration in the differential diagnosis of hypotonia in children. The pattern of clinical presentation and physical examination should raise the suspicion to make the appropriate diagnosis. Prompt clinical diagnosis and immediate appropriate treatment reduce morbidity and/or mortality in this disease.
