Nonpolio enteroviruses
Nonpolio
enteroviruses have been associated with polio-like paralytic disease,
frequently accompanied by other clinical syndromes, such as aseptic meningitis,
hand-foot-and-mouth disease, and acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis.
Coxsackieviruses
A and B, echovirus, enterovirus 70, and enterovirus 71 have been implicated in
polio-like paralytic disease. Outbreaks of acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis
with radiculomyelitis and paralytic illness in India, Taiwan, Thailand, and
Panama were etiologically linked to enterovirus 70. Muscle weakness and wasting
associated with enterovirus 70 is usually severe and permanent.
The World Health Organization defines paralysis as a central nervous system disorder that results in difficulty or inability to move the upper or lower extremities. According to a study of over 70,000 households there are nearly 1 in 50 people living with paralysis over 5.3 million people. That means we all know someone living with paralysis. My only focus is to rescue the people from this deadly disease.
