Description

Other forms of botulism refer to the various types of botulism that are not classified as the classic foodborne or wound botulism. These can include infant botulism, which occurs in infants due to the ingestion of spores, and adult intestinal colonization botulism, which affects adults with certain gastrointestinal conditions.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that 'otras formas de botulismo' may be used in various clinical discussions, and it is important to maintain a formal register. Avoid colloquial terms that may arise, and ensure clarity when differentiating between types of botulism, as confusion with foodborne botulism can occur.

Example Sentences

ES: El paciente fue diagnosticado con otras formas de botulismo tras presentar síntomas inusuales.
