Abstract
Open AccessEarly recognition of constipation, feeding difficulty, and descending weakness in infants is vital for prompt diagnosis of infant botulism. Bedside nerve studies support early treatment. Rapid public health notification and coordinated access to specific therapies, including timely use of BAT and BIG-IV, are essential to optimize outcomes and safety.
