Laboratory tests did not identify the presence of the toxin in food wastes available in the patient's home
The National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA) released the consumption of lots of corn and bologna suspected of causing botulism in a family in New Canaan Paulista (SP).
Laboratory tests did not identify the presence of the toxin in food wastes available in the patient's home.
The toxin was also not found in samples bologna and an empty corn. Investigations are continuing to identify the cause of the contamination.
The corn canned brand I want, valid until June 2014, lot 300 437, and mortadella Star, valid until October 13, were released.
The investigations began after diagnosis. Father, mother and two children arrived at the hospital with vomiting, diarrhea, difficulty walking and blurred vision.
Benedito José dos Santos, 38, Elisete Garcia, 30, and their children Juliana Bruna, 12, and Cristiano, 9, received a specific serum against botulism thanks to an operation by Military Police and other agencies.
The serum was in the capital and was taken to the inside in a helicopter. Without the mobilization, the health status of victims would have worsened.
The family was discharged after treatment. Botulism can be fatal.
