Paralytic poliomyelitis were observed in two healthy children who both had previously received four doses of standard inactivated poliovaccine (IPV). These children, whose immune defenses were normal, failed to respond to IPV. This absence of antibody response might be related to an insufficient antigenicity of inactivated vaccines, justifying the extensive use of the more potent IPV, now produced on continuous cell lines.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011051 Poliomyelitis An acute infectious disease of humans, particularly children, caused by any of three serotypes of human poliovirus (POLIOVIRUS). Usually the infection is limited to the gastrointestinal tract and nasopharynx, and is often asymptomatic. The central nervous system, primarily the spinal cord, may be affected, leading to rapidly progressive paralysis, coarse FASCICULATION and hyporeflexia. Motor neurons are primarily affected. Encephalitis may also occur. The virus replicates in the nervous system, and may cause significant neuronal loss, most notably in the spinal cord. A rare related condition, nonpoliovirus poliomyelitis, may result from infections with nonpoliovirus enteroviruses.
