BACKGROUND: There was an outbreak of botulism in a district in Nan Province in upper northern Thailand. The outbreak occurred after the villagers took bamboo shoots preserved in a sealed bucket under anaerobic conditions (home-canned bamboo shoots). There were 209 people at risk, of whom 119 (56.9%) were hospitalized. Among the 119 cases, 42 (35.3%) needed ventilators. Of the 42 cases, 25 (59.5%) were transferred to another hospital.
OBJECTIVE: Describe and review transferal processes of the 25 cases and document lessons learned for medical services response from a public health aspect.
MATERIAL AND METHOD: Review of records and reports.
RESULTS: All 25 cases were successfully transferred with no mishaps. The duration of transferal was less than 3 hours.
