National Botulism Consultation Program Abstractionist at Center for Disease Control
Working as part of the clinical systematic review team assisting in the abstraction of confirmed botulism cases to be graded and used to help drive the national guidelines for the treatment of botulism. Meet with epidemiologists, clinicians and fellow abstractionists in an effort to best characterize the clinical signs and symptoms associated with botulism for earlier diagnosis and treatment in preparation for a potential bioterrorist threat. Current diagnosis is made via lab specimen testing requiring 4-5 days that show the presence of botulinum toxin or growth of bacterial culture consistent with toxin production. Early diagnosis and administration of antitoxin is believed to be associated with better patient outcomes from halting the progression of symptoms caused by the botulinum toxin.
