Abstract

In Asian countries infantile botulism is a rare and often under diagnosed disease. With the intent to spread the awareness of this potentially life threatening disease we report two confirmed cases of infantile botulism and describe the way we could make our final diagnosis. Additionally since the treatment of choice of infantile botulism is Baby BIG and it is not available in our country and because of financial problems we could not afford it, we treated our patients with equine botulinum antitoxin (EqBA). We report here the effectiveness and safety of equine botulinum antitoxin (EqBA) as an alternative treatment of infantile botulism.
