Alcune malattie trasmesse da alimenti da non dimenticare

Abstract

Foodborne diseases (FBDs) are still a major public health problem. They are often caused by toxic sub-stances due to incorrect food storage. The paper describes three cases of FBD recently observed: the first concerns the so-called scombroid syndrome, the second Infant Botulism and the third acquired methemoglo-binemia. FBDs are now relatively rare so their recognition often represents a diagnostic challenge for pae-diatricians
