Overview

Botulism must be differentiated from neuromuscular disorders that present with muscle weakness and flaccidity.

Differentiating Botulism from other Diseases

Botulism must be differentiated from neuromuscular disorders that present with muscle weakness and flaccidity, such as:

Diseases History and Physical Diagnostic tests Other Findings
Loss of Consciousness Fever Motor Deficit Sensory deficit Cranial nerve Involvement Autonomic dysfunction Proximal/Distal/Generalized Ascending/Descending/Generalized Unilateral (UL)

or Bilateral (BL)

Onset Lab or Imaging Findings Specific test
Adult Botulism - - + + + Descending BL Sudden Blood, Wound, or Stool culture
Infant Botulism - - BL Sudden Blood, Wound, or Stool culture
Guillian-Barre syndrome - - + - + BL Insidious
Hypothyroidism - - + + - BL Insidious
Eaton Lambert syndrome - - + - - BL Intermittent Clinical assesment
Myasthenia gravis - - + + - BL Intermittent
Electrolyte disturbance - - + + - BL Insidious
Organophosphate toxicity - - + + - BL Sudden
Tick paralysis (Dermacentor tick) - - + + - BL Insidious
Tetrodotoxin poisoning - - + + - BL Sudden
Stroke +/- - + + - UL Sudden
Poliomyelitis - + Sudden
Transverse myelitis - - Sudden
Neurosyphilis[1][2] - +/- + + - BL Insidious CSF VDRL-specifc

CSF FTA-Ab -sensitive[3]

Muscular dystrophy - + + - Proximal Insidious
Multiple sclerosis exacerbation - - + + Intermittent ↑CSF IgG levels

(monoclonal bands)

Clinical assesment and MRI [4] Blurry vision, urinary incontinence, fatigue
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis - + + - Insidious
Myositis - +/- - Proximal Insidious Muscle biopsy
