Vaccine-associated poliomyelitis in an infant with agammaglobulinemia. 1980

T Sankano, and E Kittaka, and Y Tanaka, and H Yamaoka, and Y Kobayashi, and T Usui

We describe a female infant with agammaglobulinemia who contracted vaccine-associated poliomyelitis. Poliovirus type 2 was isolated from the initial stool specimen. In our patient, temporary changes in the cerebrospinal fluid resembled those in patients without immunodeficiencies, although gammaglobulin therapy had not yet been started. Pleocytosis was observed for a short time after viremia, but soon there was a return to normal without antibody production.

D007223 Infant A child between 1 and 23 months of age. Infants
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.

D017955 Poliovirus A species of ENTEROVIRUS which is the causal agent of POLIOMYELITIS in humans. Three serotypes (strains) exist. Transmission is by the fecal-oral route, pharyngeal secretions, or mechanical vector (flies). Vaccines with both inactivated and live attenuated virus have proven effective in immunizing against the infection.
