Description

Disorders of the neuromuscular junction in botulism refer to the dysfunctions that occur at the site where nerve cells connect with the muscles they control, caused by the botulinum toxin. This condition can lead to muscle weakness and paralysis, significantly impacting respiratory and muscular functions.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that the term may be used in discussions about botulism-related symptoms and treatments. It's important to stick to the clinical term 'Trastornos de la unión neuromuscular en el botulismo' in formal contexts. Avoid colloquial terms that may arise in casual conversations about botulism.

Example Sentences

EN: Disorders of the neuromuscular junction in botulism can lead to severe respiratory failure.

ES: Los trastornos de la unión neuromuscular en el botulismo pueden llevar a una falla respiratoria severa.

Common Interpreter Mistakes
