Causes/ Transmission
 Poliomyelitis also known as Polio is a
viral disease.
 Spread through direct person-to
person contact by means of mucus,
phlegm, or infected feces.
 Commonly found in developing
countries such as Africa, Asia and
places with poor sanitation/hygiene.
Countries that report cases of polio…
Those effected:
 Young children, pregnant women,
and the elderly are most effected by
this disease.
 Usually is most prevalent in the summer
and fall.
Signs and Symptoms:
 Subclinical infections- sore throat, slight
fever, headache, last for 72 hours. 95% of
polio infections are subclinical.
 Clinical infections: effects the central
nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and
is divided into non-paralytic and
paralytic. Non-paralytic symptoms include
stiff neck, fever, soreness which all last
about 1-2 weeks. Paralytic symptoms are
more sever with more sensitivity to areas of
the body and muscle spasms in the back of
the leg.
Muscles effected by polio…
 Legs
 Arm
 Back
 Hands
 Shoulder
 Hip
 lungs
How do you get it?
 The disease enters the environment
through feces and poor
sanitation/hygiene.
 Transmitted through person-to-person
and stays in the intestines. Only 1 in
every 200 people show signs of paralytic
symptoms.
 The incubation period is between 5-35
days with the average being around 7-
14 days.
Life cycle of Polio…
Pathophysiology:
 The polio virus is detected through samples of
either the feces or from the mouth.
 Polio is preventable, the average person is
vaccinated for life after receiving multiple shots
as a small child and usually protect against the
disease 90% of the time.
 Those that don’t get vaccinated run the risk of
getting the virus which is often times chronic in
about 5% of the cases. The other 95% of
subclinical polio lead to future medical
problems such as high blood pressure, kidney
stones, weakness in legs/muscles, etc.
Dr. Albert Sabin
 As millions of people
became infected with the
disease it wasn’t until
April 1955 that the “live
polio” vaccine was
made public thanks to
the research of Dr. Albert
Sabin and his colleges at
University of Pittsburg
Medical School.
Polio project
Iron Lung:
 In server cases of polio the respiratory
muscles can be damaged, this type of
polio is known as bulbar polio.
 Only found in extremely rare cases, the
motor neurons of the brain are attacked
by the poliovirus.
 Can reduce breathing and cause painful
swallowing and speaking.
The Iron lung…
Treatment:
 In most cases the best treatment is to allow
the virus to run its course while controlling
the symptoms with physical therapy and
heat treatments.
