[Postpoliomyelitic progressive amyotrophy]. 1985

Iu V Mozolevskiĭ, and Iu K Smirnov, and M V Tushkanova, and E A Dubanova

Two clinical cases of post-poliomyelitic progressive amyotrophy (PPA) are described. One patient had serological tests of the blood and cerebrospinal fluid for viruses of poliomyelitis, measles, simple herpes and tick-borne encephalitis which were negative. The authors suggest that PPA develops in patients with a peculiar genetic predisposition and altered homeostasis and is a degenerative-dystrophic disease of the motor nerve.

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.
