what are symptoms of polio?
Answers
It’s estimated that 95 to 99 percent of people who contract poliovirus are asymptomatic. This is known as subclinical polio. Even without symptoms, people infected with poliovirus can still spread the virus and cause infection in others. Non-paralytic polio Signs and symptoms of non-paralytic polio can last from one to 10 days. These signs and symptoms can be flu-like and can include: fever sore throat headache vomiting fatigue meningitis . Paralytic polio About 1 percent of polio cases can develop into paralytic polio. Paralytic polio leads to paralysis in the spinal cord (spinal polio), brainstem (bulbar polio), or both (bulbospinal polio). Initial symptoms are similar to non-paralytic polio. But after a week, more severe symptoms will appear. These symptoms include: loss of reflexes severe spasms and muscle pain loose and floppy limbs, sometimes on just one side of the body sudden paralysis, temporary or permanent deformed limbs, especially the hips, ankles, and feet It’s rare for full paralysis to develop. Less than 1 percent of all polio cases will result in permanent paralysis. In 5–10 percent of the polio paralysis cases, the virus will attack the muscles that help you breathe and cause death.
