Resumen
El botulismo es una enfermedad neuroparalítica, descendente y simétrica. Rara y potencialmente mortal, causada por neurotoxinas producidas por el Clostridium botulinum e infrecuentemente por otros Clostridium. La toxina bloquea de forma irreversible la liberación de acetilcolina en la unión neuromuscular. La vigilancia epidemiológica es fundamental para implementar medidas de prevención y control, así como para el tratamiento precoz de los casos sospechosos, la identificación del agente y la planificación de las intervenciones.
Expertos de la Sociedad Argentina de Terapia Intensiva (SATI) acordaron actualizar sobre diagnóstico, tratamiento y prevención de botulismo. Se analizó la bibliografía publicada en los últimos años, especialmente aquella de gran relevancia en el tema. El objetivo es trasmitir herramientas básicas de optimización en el diagnóstico según criterios clínicos y del laboratorio especializado, orientación en el tratamiento, y promover un precoz reconocimiento.
