KEY FACTS

  • Terminology

      • Clinical Issues

        TERMINOLOGY

        • Definitions

          • RNA virus that affects motor neurons in anterior horn and brainstem, resulting in muscle wasting &/or flaccid paralysis
            • Paralysis may be temporary or (if severe) permanent
          • Postpolio syndrome (PPS): new muscle weakness for ≥ 1 year, occurring at least 15 years after initial paralytic infection
            • Found in 64-68% of prior paralytic polio cases
