Clinical recovery and circulating botulinum toxin type F in adult patient. [Journal Article]
Emerg Infect Dis 2009 Jun; 15(6):969-71.


A 56-year-old woman in Helena, Montana, USA, who showed clinical signs of paralysis, received antitoxins to botulinum toxins A, B, and E within 24 hours; nevertheless, symptoms progressed to complete quadriplegia. On day 8, she began moving spontaneously, even though blood tests later showed botulinum toxin type F remained.
