Poliomyelitis
Poliomyelitis
Polio is caused by any one of three types of viruses- type 1, 2 or 3. The extent of the illness varies from child to child. Fortunately 90% to 95% of affected children who get the infection do not manifest any symptoms. A few may just get a little fever or stiffness in the neck and back. Paralysis of muscles is seen in less than 1% of cases.
The child may completely recover from the paralysis or may be left with some degree of handicap. Serious cases may involve the brain and muscles of respiration.
Treatment
If you suspect poliomyelitis, show the child to the doctor as soon as possible. Those attending to the child must wash their hands properly, especially, after handling the baby's stools.
