Extractions: T he Polio Information Center Online (PICO) provides information about poliovirus, the causative agent of paralytic poliomyelitis and also an important model system for studying viruses in the family Picornaviridae. This family contains viruses which cause such conditions as the common cold, encephalitis, aseptic meningitis, and hepatitis, to name a few. Thus, while the Salk and Sabin vaccines have significantly reduced the threat of paralysis by polio, there are still good reasons to study this virus. Editorial: Should Polio Vaccination Be Stopped? By 2003, wild poliovirus will have been eradicated from nature. Will it be safe to stop vaccinating? Breaking News: Polio Outbreak in Dominican Republic and Haiti The Western Hemisphere is no longer polio-free. This unusual outbreak raises new questions about polio eradication and public health. Vaccine Change Widely Adopted A 1997 change in the vaccine protocol recommended by the CDC is catching on rapidly with pediatricians. Polio Eradication Enters the Home Stretch In what will be the second worldwide elimination of a viral disease, the World Health Organization is entering the final stages of its polio vaccination campaign.

Extractions: - A WORLD WITHOUT POLIO The goal of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative is to ensure that no child will ever again know the crippling effects of polio. The Global Polio Eradication Initiative is the largest public health initiative the world has ever known. Since 1988 when the World Health Assembly resolved to eradicate polio, two billion children around the world have been immunized against polio thanks to the cooperation of more than 200 countries and 20 million volunteers, backed by an international investment of US$ 3 billion.

Extractions: Polio is a contagious, historically devastating disease that, in most cases, actually produces no symptoms at all. Of those infected with the virus who show symptoms, most may not suspect they have polio because their sickness is limited to mild flu -like symptoms such as mild upper respiratory infection, diarrhea fever sore throat , and malaise. A much smaller number of those with polio show more serious neurological symptoms such as sensitivity to light and neck stiffness. And even fewer still - about 1 in 250 cases - exhibit the most severe form of disease with paralysis of the arms and legs and difficulty breathing.

Extractions: Experts Still Debating Scientists declared the Western Hemisphere "polio-free" in 1994; two years later, only 4,000 cases were reported worldwide. Wild polio virus has been largely confined to South Asia and Africa; complete eradication of the disease is expected by 2003. As a result, World Health Organization (WHO) officials are now exploring strategies for bringing an end to polio vaccinations. In a "Policy Forum" in the August 8 issue of Science , one pair of scientists at WHO in Geneva and another pair at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York square off on some of the issues involved.

Extractions: Where can I go for more information? What is post-polio syndrome? Post-polio syndrome (PPS) is a condition that can strike polio survivors anywhere from 10 to 40 years after recovery from an initial attack of the poliomyelitis virus. PPS is characterized by a further weakening of muscles that were previously injured by polio infection. Symptoms include fatigue, slowly progressive muscle weakness, muscle and joint pain, and muscular atrophy. Some patients experience only minor symptoms, while others develop spinal muscular atrophy or what appears to be, but is not, a form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also called Lou Gehrig's disease. PPS is rarely life-threatening. The extent to which polio survivors will suffer from PPS depends on how seriously they were affected by the first polio attack. Patients who had only minimal symptoms from the original attack and subsequently develop PPS will most likely experience only mild PPS symptoms. People originally hit hard by the polio virus may develop a more severe case of PPS with a greater loss of muscle function, difficulty in swallowing, and more periods of fatigue.

Extractions: What is Polio? Polio, also called poliomyelitis is a highly contagious infectious disease caused by one of three related viruses. Polio is a very serious disease, which can lead to paralysis or even death. One a person is exposed to polio, it usually takes about three to five days for symptoms to appear. In about 95 percent of polio cases, infection from the polio virus causes no symptoms or serious effects. In about 5 percent of cases, the polio virus manifests in a mild form ( abortive polio ) with flu-like symptoms, in a nonparalytic form (aseptic meningitis) or in a severe form called paralytic polio . People who have minor or nonparalytic forms recover completely. Paralytic Polio? Paralytic polio is the most serious type of polio. Paralytic polio causes paralysis. In paralytic polio, the polio virus invades the central nervous system the spinal cord and the brain and may cause weakness, paralysis, serious breathing problems or death. Paralytic polio begins like milder forms of polio, however, it usually causes severe muscle pain in addition to other symptoms. Paralysis usually happens within the first week. The individual may lose the ability to use of one or both legs, arms, and may not be able to breathe without the help of a machine. Recovery varies from person to person, but people who are paralyzed by polio will have some weakness in an arm or leg for the rest of their lives.
