Acute nonparalytic poliomyelitis - what does this mean
Acute nonparalytic poliomyelitis is caused by an infection with the poliovirus, which is transmitted through contact with the faeces or saliva of an infected person. it can also be spread through contaminated food or water. symptoms include fever, headache, sore throat, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and muscle pain and stiffness. in some cases, it can cause temporary paralysis of the limbs.
What happens during the disease - acute nonparalytic poliomyelitis
Acute nonparalytic poliomyelitis is caused by infection with the poliovirus, which enters the body through the gastrointestinal tract and multiplies in the oropharynx. the virus then enters the bloodstream and spreads to the central nervous system, where it causes inflammation of the spinal cord and brainstem, resulting in a range of symptoms including fever, headache, nausea, and muscle pain. in some cases, the virus can also cause paralysis of the limbs, but this is much less common in nonparalytic poliomyelitis.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Physical examination
- Medical history
- Blood tests
- Neurological tests
- Imaging tests (MRI, CT scans)
- Viral culture
- Electromyography (EMG)

Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: To reduce the severity and duration of symptoms and prevent complications.
- Administering antiviral medications to reduce the virus' ability to replicate.
- Prescribing pain medications to reduce discomfort.
- Prescribing muscle relaxants to reduce muscle spasms.
- Prescribing physical therapy to reduce muscle stiffness and increase range of motion.
- Prescribing respiratory therapy to improve breathing.
- Prescribing physical activity to maintain muscle tone and strength.
- Administering immunizations to prevent future infections.
46 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Acute nonparalytic poliomyelitis - Prevention
The best way to prevent acute nonparalytic poliomyelitis is through vaccination. a combination vaccine is available that protects against all three types of poliovirus and should be administered to all children, adults, and travelers to high-risk areas. good hygiene practices, such as regular hand-washing, should also be followed to reduce the spread of the virus.
