The purpose of the Registry was to evaluate patient safety following Botulism Antitoxin Heptavalent (A, B, C, D, E, F, G) - (Equine) (BAT®) administration in adult and pediatric patients with a confirmed or suspected exposure to botulinum toxin.
A full description of the patient registry can be found in the paper titled: Safety and Clinical Outcomes of an Equine-derived Heptavalent Botulinum Antitoxin Treatment for Confirmed or Suspected Botulism in the United States.

Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
162
Noninterventional, retrospective, observational phase 4 patient Registry
Number of participants with serious and non-serious adverse events
The data obtained will more clearly define the absolute risk (incidence rates) of hypersensitivity/allergic reactions, including serum sickness, febrile reactions, hemodynamic instability, bradycardia, and other serious adverse events in pediatric and adult patients that are treated with BAT® due to a confirmed or suspected case of botulism.
Time frame: From BAT® administration up to discharge from hospital (200 days)
