Botulism Treatment Market

Botulism is a type of poisoning or infection caused by bacteria Clostridium botulinum. It is produced under low oxygen conditions and can have lethal effects on the human body. Some food sources such as preserved or fermented food and homemade canned food are potent breeding grounds for bacteria.  Botulism directly affects nerve activity and blocks its functioning if left untreated for a longer period of time. Chest muscles, arms, and legs weakening are the most common problems of botulism. A person can be infected by consuming contaminated food that contains toxin or by injecting a toxin drug that causes wound botulism. The symptoms of botulism include double vision, drooping both eyelids, difficulty in swallowing, loss of facial expression, nausea, vomiting, and eventually constipation. Delay in treatment might result in paralysis, respiratory failure, or even death, as movement of muscles and respiration becomes difficult for the person affected with botulism.

COVID-19 Impact Analysis

COVID-19 is an infectious disease that originated in Hubei province of the Wuhan city in China in late December. The highly contagious disease, caused by a virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), is transmitted from human to human. Since the outbreak in December 2019, the disease has spread to almost 213 countries around the globe with the World Health Organization declaring it a public health emergency on March 11, 2020.

Pharmaceutical and biotech companies together with governments around the globe are working to address the COVID-19 outbreak, from supporting the development of vaccines to planning for medicine supply chain challenges.
