Abstract

The third case of infant botulism in Japan is reported. A four-month-old baby boy suddenly had weakness of suckling force, constipation and generalized hypotonicity. He was the product of normal gestation, labor and delivery. Growth and development were normal until he was nineteen weeks old. He received fruit-juice and honey daily. By bacteriological examination, Clostridium botulism type A was isolated from his feces and the honey which he had received. Type A toxin was detected from his feces but not from his serum.
