Background: Botulism is a fatal illness if not diagnosed early and treated adequately.
Aim: The aim of this research was to assess the clinical and evolutionary patterns of foodborne botulism.
Materials and Methods: Data from four botulism cases was analysed retrospectively.Epidemiological causes, clinical manifestations, and specific bioassay findings for botulinum neurotoxin identification all supported a positive diagnosis.
Results: Serum samples tested positive for type B botulinum toxin. Under treatment with polyvalent antibotulinum serum evolution was positive for three cases, the forth requiring intensive care and mechanical ventilation but with recovery after months of rehabilitation.
Conclusion: Botulism/food poisoning can be caused by consuming inappropriately canned and stored food.
