Une femme est d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9e et plusieurs autres personnes sont tomb\u00e9es gravement malades du botulisme apr\u00e8s avoir consomm\u00e9 des sardines dans un bar \u00e0 vin populaire de Bordeaux, dans le sud-ouest de la France.<\/p>\n

Les autorit\u00e9s sanitaires du pays ont d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que les personnes touch\u00e9es avaient toutes d\u00een\u00e9 la semaine derni\u00e8re au Tchin Tchin Wine Bar, un bar \u00e0 vins bio du centre de Bordeaux fr\u00e9quent\u00e9 par des touristes \u00e9trangers.<\/p>\n

La femme, une habitante parisienne, est d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9e alors qu'elle rentrait chez elle apr\u00e8s un voyage \u00e0 Bordeaux. La femme et son compagnon ont \u00e9t\u00e9 admis dans un h\u00f4pital de la r\u00e9gion. Huit autres ont \u00e9t\u00e9 admis dans un h\u00f4pital bordelais, la majorit\u00e9 d\u2019entre eux n\u00e9cessitant une assistance respiratoire. Une personne recevait des soins intensifs dans un h\u00f4pital en Espagne.<\/p>\n

Les autorit\u00e9s sanitaires fran\u00e7aises ont confirm\u00e9 ce botulisme<\/a>, une maladie extr\u00eamement rare, mais potentiellement mortelle, en \u00e9tait la cause. Ils ont ajout\u00e9 qu'elle se propageait \u00e0 partir des conserves de sardines faites maison \u00e0 base d'huile du bar \u00e0 vin.<\/p>\n

Bien que l'identit\u00e9 des victimes n'ait pas \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9v\u00e9l\u00e9e, les autorit\u00e9s ont d\u00e9clar\u00e9 que la plupart d'entre elles venaient d'autres pays, notamment des \u00c9tats-Unis, d'Allemagne, du Canada et d'Irlande, et qu'elles \u00e9taient \u00e2g\u00e9es de 30 \u00e0 40 ans.<\/p>\n

Les responsables ont \u00e9galement averti que d\u2019autres cas pourraient survenir. Les personnes qui ont d\u00een\u00e9 au bar \u00e0 vin entre le 4 et le 10 septembre doivent imm\u00e9diatement consulter un m\u00e9decin si elles pr\u00e9sentent des sympt\u00f4mes.<\/p>\n

La France enregistre en moyenne 20 \u00e0 30 cas<\/a> de botulisme par an.<\/p>\n

Qu'est-ce que le botulisme ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Il s'agit d'une maladie relativement rare, potentiellement mortelle, provoqu\u00e9e par une toxine qui attaque les nerfs du corps. Le botulisme peut entra\u00eener des difficult\u00e9s respiratoires, une paralysie musculaire et m\u00eame la mort. Le botulisme d'origine alimentaire est g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement caus\u00e9 par l'ingestion de neurotoxines puissantes, appel\u00e9es toxines botuliques, qui se forment dans les aliments contamin\u00e9s. Il n\u2019y a pas de transmission du botulisme de personne \u00e0 personne.<\/p>\n

Sympt\u00f4mes du botulisme<\/strong><\/p>\n

Selon le Organisation Mondiale de la Sant\u00e9<\/span><\/a>, le botulisme provoque une faiblesse des muscles qui contr\u00f4lent les yeux, le visage, la bouche et la gorge. Les premiers sympt\u00f4mes de cette maladie rare comprennent la fatigue, la faiblesse et les vertiges, suivis d'une vision floue, d'une bouche s\u00e8che et de difficult\u00e9s \u00e0 avaler ou \u00e0 parler.<\/p>\n

Options de traitement<\/strong><\/p>\n

Les m\u00e9decins administrent habituellement un m\u00e9dicament appel\u00e9 antitoxine<\/span><\/a>, ce qui emp\u00eache les toxines de causer davantage de dommages. Cependant, cela n\u2019aide pas \u00e0 gu\u00e9rir les dommages d\u00e9j\u00e0 caus\u00e9s \u00e0 une personne touch\u00e9e par le botulisme. L'administration pr\u00e9coce d'antitoxine est efficace pour r\u00e9duire les taux de mortalit\u00e9. Le patient devra \u00eatre hospitalis\u00e9 pendant quelques semaines \u00e0 plusieurs mois en fonction de la gravit\u00e9 des sympt\u00f4mes.<\/p>\n

Si l\u2019on \u00e9prouve des probl\u00e8mes respiratoires, cela peut m\u00eame entra\u00eener une insuffisance respiratoire si la toxine paralyse les muscles impliqu\u00e9s dans la respiration. Dans de tels cas, le patient aura besoin d\u2019une assistance respiratoire jusqu\u2019\u00e0 ce qu\u2019il puisse respirer par lui-m\u00eame.<\/p>\n

Les patients atteints de botulisme par plaie peuvent parfois n\u00e9cessiter une intervention chirurgicale et des antibiotiques pour \u00e9liminer la source de la bact\u00e9rie.<\/p>\n
