The immunity of the populations of several countries of the GFR against poliovirus 1, 2 and 3 was investigated in 11 laboratories. Sera of 4707 persons aged 0 to 30 years were assessed for neutralising antibodies (serum dilution 1:4) against the 3 types of poliovirus. 34.5% of the 4707 investigated sera had no neutralising antibodies at least against one type of the poliovirus, 4.7% showed no antibodies against all 3 types of the virus. Especially children aged 0 to 4 years were protected incompletely against the 3 types of poliovirus. In comparison with similar investigations of 1969 and 1972 no decisive change of immunity of the population of the GFR against poliomyelitis has occurred.

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.
