Doctors fear return of ‘polio-like’ disease after 25 cases in California
Source: independent.co.uk
At least 20 people in California, most of them children, have been infected by a rare “polio-like” disease, which doctors have yet to identify conclusively. Some of the patients in question have developed long-term paralysis in their limbs as a result of the new infection, which attacks the nervous system.In the past 18 months, there have been between 20 and 25 suspected cases of the condition, according to research conducted by Dr Keith Van Haren, a paediatric neurologist at Stanford University in California, and University of San Francisco neurologist Emmanuelle Waubant. One child afflicted by the symptoms is still in a serious condition, though nobody is thought to have died from the disease.
In a statement, Dr Van Haren said the pair’s research pointed to an “emerging infectious polio-like syndrome in California”. Polio has been eradicated in the US, but related strains of enterovirus have been blamed for illnesses among children in Asia and Australia in the past decade. The researchers made detailed analyses of five of the California cases, two of whom tested positive for enterovirus-68, a rare polio-related virus linked to respiratory illness.
In all five of the cases studied by Van Haren and Waubant, the children had previously been vaccinated against polio. Their symptoms ranged from a loss of movement in a single limb to severe weakness in all four limbs. In each case the paralysis had taken hold in less than two days; six months later, none of the children had recovered limb function. Scans taken for the study revealed white spots on the young patients’ spinal cords, signifying damage similar to that expected in polio sufferers.
