On the afternoon of February 20, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health provided additional information about two cases of pediatric patients suspected of Botulinum toxin poisoning, who are being treated at Children's Hospital 2 (Ho Chi Minh City).
After the Tet holiday, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health received a report from Children's Hospital 2 about two cases of pediatric patients suspected of Botulinum toxin poisoning, admitted on February 6, 2024 and February 7, 2024.
Specifically, the first patient is 6 years old (residing in Phuoc Long B ward, Thu Duc city, Ho Chi Minh city). On February 3, on the way back to his hometown with his family, the patient vomited a lot. On February 4, the patient had to be hospitalized at Binh Dinh General Hospital. After two days in the hospital, the child continued to vomit with convulsions and was transferred to Children's Hospital 2 at 6:00 p.m. on February 6, with a diagnosis of acute encephalitis.
The second patient was admitted to Hanh Phuc Hospital on February 5. After 2 days of severe vomiting and difficulty moving his jaw, he was transferred to Children's Hospital 2 on February 7, with a diagnosis of cerebral hemorrhage.
At Children's Hospital 2, after taking medical history and dietary history, the hospital recorded that both children had a year-end party at the house of a family in Phuoc Long B ward, Thu Duc city, Ho Chi Minh city.
Through clinical examination, CT scan of the brain, MRI of the brain, electromyography and other necessary tests, doctors at Children's Hospital 2 consulted and did not rule out Botulinum toxin poisoning in the child. Accordingly, the doctors agreed to use Botulinum toxin antidote. In addition, Children's Hospital 2 took a stool sample from the patient and sent it to the Ho Chi Minh City Institute of Public Health for testing and definitive diagnosis.
Currently, the condition of the two children has improved. One child has been taken off the ventilator and is being monitored in the Internal Medicine Department; the other child continues to be cared for and monitored in the Intensive Care Unit, with good clinical signs of improvement.
Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health added that, up to now, the unit has not recorded any additional cases reported with similar symptoms.
