GENERAL • What is it?
• Highly contagious viral infection that can lead to paralysis • What causes it?
• poliomyelitis virus that targets motor neurons • Who gets it?
• Young and vulnerable • Clinically suspected in those with
• Acute onset of flaccid paralysis • Absent tendon reflexes

CLASSIFICATION• Symptomatic
• Nonparalytic polio • Paralytic polio (~0.1 – 2% of case)
• Spinal polio • Bulbar polio • Bulbospinal polio
• Asymptomatic (~95% of cases)

SYMPTOMSGeneral
• Headache• Sore throat • Fever• Vomiting• General
discomfort

TREATMENT• No cure for polio
• Goal of treatment: relieve symptoms
• Antibiotics
• Analgesics
• Long term rehabilitation
• Occupational and physical therapy
• Corrective braces, shoes
• Surgery

TRANSMISSION• Highly contagious
• Primarily spreads via the fecal-oral route.
• Occasionally oral-oral route • Most infectious 7-10 days before and after appearance of
symptoms
• Immune deficiency, malnutrition, and injury increase risk of transmission and infection
• Can cross maternal-fetal barrier

PREVENTION• Passive immunization
• Purified gamma globulin from survivors• Vaccines
• 3 types • Inactivated poliovirus vaccine
• Salk Vaccine • Live and attenuated poliovirus vaccine
• Sabin Vaccine • Oral polio vaccine
