Iatrogenic botulism is a rare form of botulism caused by the administration of botulinum toxin for medical or cosmetic purposes. It is a type of food poisoning caused by the ingestion of preformed botulinum toxin, usually from improperly canned or preserved foods. Symptoms of iatrogenic botulism include difficulty speaking, swallowing, and breathing, as well as blurred vision, dry mouth, and muscle weakness.

The symptoms of iatrogenic botulism include:

- Muscle weakness
- Difficulty speaking
- Difficulty swallowing
- Blurred vision
- Drooping eyelids
- Dry mouth
- Difficulty breathing
- Constipation
- Abdominal cramps
- Nausea and vomiting
- Fatigue
- Paralysis

Iatrogenic botulism is caused by the accidental injection of botulinum toxin into a person. This can occur when a healthcare provider injects the wrong type of toxin, or when the toxin is not properly diluted or stored. It can also occur when a person receives a contaminated injection, or when a person is exposed to a contaminated wound dressing or medical device.

The treatment for iatrogenic botulism is an antitoxin called botulism antitoxin, which is made from horse serum. This antitoxin works by neutralizing the toxin in the body and preventing it from causing further damage. Other treatments may include supportive care such as respiratory support, intravenous fluids, and antibiotics to prevent secondary infections.

Yes, there is a cure for iatrogenic botulism. Treatment involves supportive care, such as providing fluids and nutrition, and administering an antitoxin called botulism immune globulin intravenous (BIG-IV). BIG-IV works by neutralizing the toxin and preventing it from causing further damage. Antibiotics may also be prescribed to help prevent secondary infections.
