摘要：

Infant botulism is confirmed by isolation of Clostridium botulinum from stool culture or by toxin assay. Although electrodiagnosis has been described as a diagnostic tool in infant botulism, our 11-year review of toxin-confirmed cases suggests that electrodiagnosis is not a reliable tool. In the case report presented, results of electrodiagnosis were negative but enema effluent contained adequate concentrations of organism and toxin to confirm the diagnosis.
