Mr. Chen, a family of three in Luzhou, was admitted to the affiliated hospital of Southwest Medical University because of the rare botulism caused by eating improperly preserved tofu milk. However, there was no corresponding antitoxin in Sichuan, Chongqing and other places. After many twists and turns, a small amount of antitoxin was airlifted from Beijing 307 Hospital, and according to the manufacturer information of antitoxin, it was airlifted from Lanzhou to Chengdu again, and the hospital sent someone to retrieve it.

After one month's treatment, except one patient who was extremely critical and his family gave up treatment, the muscle strength of the other two patients basically returned to normal through active treatment, and their spontaneous breathing function was recovering.

After discovering the cause, the hospital immediately reported to the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention and the Municipal Health Planning Commission, while looking for botulinum antitoxin. However, the feedback information showed that there was no stock of botulinum antitoxin in neighboring hospitals and poisoning centers such as Sichuan and Chongqing, and it was finally found in Beijing 307 Hospital after many efforts.

It happened that Dr. Liu Muyu was working in the National Health Planning Commission, so the hospital immediately informed him and rushed to the 307 Hospital. Through a series of complicated examination and approval procedures, Liu Muyu flew back to Luzhou with drugs. On the morning of June 10, three patients used 60 A-type antitoxins transferred from 307 Hospital.
