M Freedman, and R M Armstrong, and J M Killian, and D Boland

A 45-year-old woman was diagnosed as having the unclassified form of botulism. Her intestines may have been predisposed to colonization with Clostridium botulinum because of a jejunoileal bypass procedure that had been done several years earlier. One other similar case has been reported.
