Absence or low individual and public risk
Acute paralytic poliomyelitis, vaccine-associated - what does this mean
Acute paralytic poliomyelitis, vaccine-associated is a rare form of the disease that occurs when an individual is vaccinated with an oral polio vaccine (opv) and develops a weakened form of the virus. the weakened virus can then spread to other individuals, who may develop the acute paralytic form of the disease.
What happens during the disease - acute paralytic poliomyelitis, vaccine-associated
Acute paralytic poliomyelitis, vaccine-associated is caused by a weakened form of the poliovirus that is used in the oral polio vaccine. this weakened virus replicates in the gastrointestinal tract and is then spread to the central nervous system, where it can cause inflammation of the motor neurons and resulting paralysis. in some cases, the weakened virus can mutate and become more virulent, leading to paralysis in those who have been vaccinated.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Take a thorough medical history, including immunization records.
- Perform a physical examination, looking for signs of paralysis and muscle weakness.
- Order laboratory tests, such as a complete blood count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and cerebrospinal fluid analysis.
- Conduct imaging tests, such as an MRI or CT scan, to look for signs of inflammation in the brain or spinal cord.
- Perform an electromyography to measure the electrical activity of the muscles.
- Administer a polio antibody test to determine if the virus is present in the patient's system.
- Order a genetic test to identify any mutations in the virus.
- Conduct a skin biopsy to look for evidence of the virus.
- Order a stool sample to test for the presence of the virus.
Treatment and Medical Assistance
The main goal of the treatment is to reduce the risk of paralysis and other complications associated with acute paralytic poliomyelitis, vaccine-associated.
- Administering an antiviral drug such as acyclovir or ribavirin
- Prescription of physical therapy to strengthen the muscles
