Poliomyelitis: This disease was called infantile paralysis. But it is now known that the disease may occur at any age. This disease spreads mainly through intestinal disch It may also spread through contaminated food or drink and by flies or other insects that may contaminate food or drink. Polio virus (ss RNA) usually enters the body via alimentary canal where it multiplies and reaches the nervous system (spinal cord) through the blood stream. Its incubation period is 7-14 days. It produces inflammation of the nervous system. The earliest sign of this disease is involvement of the central nervous system causing inability to bend the head forward. Stiffness of the neck is an important sign. Paralysis starts following the weakness of particular skeletal muscles. The attack of paralysis begins with high fever, headache, chills, pain all over the body. If muscles of larynx and pharynx are involved it proves fatal. Within two to three days the paralysis reaches its maximum limit. There is no sure cure for pollo. The patient should be kept isolated. He should be given complete rest. An adequate arrangement for proper disposal of urine and faeces of the patient must be provided because they contain polio virus.
