title: [Intoxications caused by Staphylococcal enterotoxin B].
abstract: Staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) is one of exotoxins produced by Staphylococcus aureus. Depending on the type exposure SEB may cause a food or inhalant poisoning. The course of food poisoning is usually lighter and resolves spontaneously. The course of inhalant poisoning depends on the inhaled dose. It can be tough and demanding intensive treatment. Given the lack of specific therapy, led therapy is purely symptomatic.
