Infectious causes of acute flaccid paralysis
Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2003Although acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) is more frequently seen in the tropics than in temperate regions, recent outbreaks of West Nile virus (WNV) in North America have drawn attention to this important presentation. Starting with anatomical and neurophysiological considerations, this article examines data on AFP caused by WNV, and considers recent ...

Non-polio enteroviruses in acute flaccid paralysis
The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2001Human enteroviruses are the major cause of aseptic meningitis and also cause a wide range of other acute illnesses, including neonatal sepsis like disease, meningitis, acute flaccid paralysis and acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis. Infection in neonates is particularly life threatening.Stool samples of 523 children (age < 4 years) showing symptoms of ...

The last case of poliomyelitis due to transmission of indigenous wild poliovirus occurred in Italy in 1982. To achieve the certification of the eradication of poliomyelitis in Italy, an active surveillance of acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) in the population aged less than 15 years was set up following the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines.
