A polio vaccine was invented in 1954. Each year after that, the number of polio cases decreased. By 1974, only 5 cases occurred. These were all people who were linked to the polio vaccine.
50,000 people died of polio.
It depends on what time zone you're in. I might be in "tomorrow" for you already.
None die from polio. sorry, not true...many old cases of polio proved to cause paralysis, obviously. But if it spreads to the respiratory muscles, it can, in fact, kill you. This was when the iron lung was designed. I have no idea how many people die each year, but they do.
5000
It is estimated the about 500 children got polio in Afghanistan in the year of 2012. More and more children get polio every year. And many people are trying to help the children of Afghanistan.
20 000 approx.
Immunizations were formed in an attempt to fight different disease such as polio. In many parts of the world where immunizations are given, polio and other previously deadly diseases are virtually non existent.
people can not understand each other!
about 7.8 million people a year in Africa casue there black it is 4 million there
It depends on what part of the nervous system is infected by the polio virus. Though most people recovered quickly from polio, some suffered temporary or permanent paralysis and even death. Many polio survivors were disabled for life. They were a visible, painful reminder to society of the enormous toll this disease took on young lives. In about 95% of all polio cases, the person has no symptoms at all. These are known as asymptomatic cases. The rest of polio cases can be divided into three types: abortive polio, non-paralytic polio, and paralytic polio. Abortive polio: In these cases, polio is a mild illness, with viral-like symptoms such as fever, fatigue, headache, sore throat, nausea, and diarrhea. Non-paralytic polio: These cases typically involve the symptoms of abortive polio, with additional neurological symptoms, such as sensitivity to light and neck stiffness. Paralytic polio: The first signs of paralytic polio, after an initial period of viral-like symptoms, typically begin with loss of superficial reflexes and muscle pain or spasms. Paralysis, usually asymmetric, follows. Fewer than 1%-2% of people who contract polio become paralyzed. In most cases of paralytic polio, the patient recovers completely. However, for a certain number of people, paralysis or muscle weakness remains for life.
Approximately 2.5 million people die each year from AIDS in Africa. This number is decreasing due to more vaccines being transported over to third world countries.
