[Acute laryngeal dyspnea in the patient with botulism cured in 2001 year in ENT Department Hospital in Kalisz]. / Ostra dusznosc krtaniowa w przypadku zatrucia jadem kielbasianym u chorego leczonego na oddziale ORL w Kaliszu w 2001 roku.

ABSTRACT

The authors presented symptoms of botulism, diagnostics and treatment. In this case there was a necessity of urgent tracheotomy. The authors had good results because of early treatment with serum antibotulism A+B+C and symptomatic treatment. Decannulation was only after 45 days because the paralytic symptoms declined very slowly.
