Abstract: This report describes a case of infant botulism in a 4-month-old
exclusively breast- fed female. The time from onset of symptoms to diagnosis
was protracted, so the patient was not administered botulinum immune globulin.
No source of exposure was identified. She eventually recovered with mild
residual deficits.
