Polio has reemerged once again. It all started back in 1952 in the United States, with 20000 polio cases. The trivalent inactivated polio virus vaccine (IPV) helped eradicate this disease. As of today, the Poliomyelitis (polio) is present In America and London.
Polio is a viral infection that causes paralysis, respiratory issues and could be fatal.

Should we be concerned
Treatment and preventoon
1st case in the U. S IN almost a decade
The current case was contracted from an individual who had received the oral polio vaccine which is a live version of the polio vaccine that is no longer administered in the United States. Researchers have now found waste water samples which have tested positive for the polio virus -
there is a genetic link to the Rockland County resident who was diagnosed with polio. Essentially, polio is transmitted through contaminated food or water (fecal oral transmission)
Symptoms
[ ] Non paralytic polio - fever, sore throat, headache, vomiting, fatigue, back pain, neck pain, arm/leg pain, muscle weakness
[ ] Paralytic syndrome - loss of reflexes, severe muscle aches, flaccid paralysis (loose and floppy limbs)
[ ] Post polio syndrome - progressive muscle or joint weakness, fatigue, muscle atrophy, breathing or swallowing problems, sleep related disorders (sleep apnea) and decresead tolerance to cold temperatures.
Should we be concerned?
Polio is only a potential threat to individuals who have not been fully vaccinated against it.
According to the CDC, two doses of IPV offer 90% immunity to all three types of the polio virus, while 3 doses give a person 99% protection.
However, about one person per million who received the live attenuated polio virus vaccine in US developed acute polio paralysis, which was termed vaccine associated polio. The individuals most at risk of this are those with immune deficiencies or adults who had not been immunjzed and the changed the diapers of young family members who had recirved the oral vaccine in the prior month or two (hence the fecal oral route of transmission similar to hepatitis A)
Treatment
Treatment addresses the signs and symptoms of polio for example fever or paralysis (physical therapy). Currently there are no FDA approved antivirals against polio.
Heated hot packs can be used to ease muscle spams. Exercises training full range of motion can help minimise contracture and deformity and rehabilitation techniques can help a person to regain as much function as possible.
Prevention
Vaccination is key, this will help mitigate the polio risk and the subsequent impact on the environment.
Follow travel related instructions regarding diarrheal diseases in foreign countries.
