Ocular involvement in benign botulism B.

In nine cases of botulism B infection due to food poisoning acute onset of accommodation paresis, mydriasis, and dry-eye symptoms were the prominent clinical findings. Impairment of salivary secretion as a further effect upon cholinergic autonomic innervation was detectable for months. Guanidine treatment had a beneficial effect, whereas administration of antitoxin in the late and benign form was not effective.

Autonomic dysfunction in botulism B: a clinical report.

Nine cases of botulism B with preponderant effects upon cholinergic autonomic innervation are presented. Blurred vision and dry mouth were constant symptoms. Impairment of salivary and lacrimal secretion were detectable for months. In the absence of clinical signs, electromyographic studies did not reveal neuromuscular involvement. Administration of antitoxin in the late course of such cases is not recommended, but guanidine can be used. Doubt is cast upon a new clinical entity called "acute autonomic neuropathy."
