ON THE MECHANISM OF RESPIRATORY PARALYSIS IN BOTULISM, TETANUS AND DIPHTHERIA

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0675845 | Open PDF

Abstract:

Using the cross diaphragmatic phenomenon as an illustration, the authors demonstrated that respiratory paralysis in botulism was caused by depression of motor innervation function of respiratory muscles and not by the exclusion of the respiratory center activity. Disturbances of respiration in tetanus and diphtheria are due to another, more complicated mechanism.
