Abstract

Botulism is registered everywhere, but it is one of the rarely encountered diseases. The trend in the incidence of botulism in the Russian Federation is uneven and reflects the influence of various social factors. Case histories from the archive of Yaroslavl Infectious Diseases Clinical Hospital One were used to analyze botulism cases registered in the Yaroslavl Region in 2005-2015. Botulism in the Yaroslavl Region was found to have typical clinical presentations. The symptoms of the disease are diverse, but the manifestations of paralytic syndrome prevail. A symptom, such as dry mouth, is present in all cases, even in the mildest forms of the disease. In some cases, its clinical manifestations are questionable; and laboratory tests are not always of informative value, so it is very important that detailed epidemiological data on botulism should be collected.
