Abstract

Botulismus is a disease caused by Clostrodium botilinum neurotoxin that blocks releasing of acetylcholine on presinaptik and cholinergic terminal of the autonomous nerves of the neuromuscular junction, irreversibly. Intoxication generally occurs with taking oral home made canned products (rarely with commercial ones) that are contaminated with bacteria. We present clinical and electrophysiological findings of 6 cases from the same family whom developed blurred vision, weakness, swallowing difficulty, respiratory distress after eating the home-made canned purslane prepaired by boiling.

Özet

Botulismus, Clostridium botulinum nörotoksinlerinin nöromuskuler bileşkede presinaptik ve otonom sinirlerin kolinerjik uçlarında asetilkolin salınımını irreversibl olarak bloke etmesi ile ortaya çıkan bir hastalıktır. Zehirlenme sıklıkla, ticari olanlardan çok, evde hazırlanan konserve ürünlerinin içerdiği bakterinin oral yolla alınmasıyla ortaya çıkar. Burada ev yapımı semizotu konservesinin kaynatılarak yenmesinin ardından bulanık görme, kuvvetsizlik, yutma güçlüğü, solunum sıkıntısı bulguları gelişen aynı aileden 6 olgunun klinik ve elektrofizyolojik bulgularını sunuldu.
