Polio

Franklin D. Roosevelt had polio.

On August 10, 1921 at the age of 39, Franklin D. Roosevelt was strickened with the first symptoms of Polio. However, modern scientists believe that was a misdiagnosis. For one thing, Polio was a childhood disease. Second, Polio does not start at the feet and gradually work its way up the legs like Mr. Roosevelt's ailment did. It is far more likely that FDR sufferred from Guillain-Barré syndrome, but there is currently no way to confirm that because at this time the only method for testing for Guillain-Barré syndrome requires a spinal tap. All of Pres. Roosevelt's spinal fluid dried up many years ago.

Actually, he was thought to have polio, but in 2003, scientist found that he didn't have polio, but a rare disease called Landry-Guillain-Barre syndrome, which acts almost like polio in the way that it tricks the immune system into attacking healthy cells in the nervous system, this is called autoimmune disorder.

No, you are thinking of Franklin D. Roosevelt! Although throughout his whole presidency he kept it a major secret from the public.

As a small child

He did indeed. It severely damaged his legs. He could stand up with special braces but he could not walk normally. He had a specially designed car the used hand levers instead of foot pedals. He tried to keep his condition hidden and was largely successful.

The influenza virus contains Both DNA and RNA.Its an exception.

Yes it is harmful to people.

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.

1789 was when polio was first diagnosed!!!!

polio was found in 1789

There are 3 types of poliomyelitis (polio) infection:

1. Sub-clinical: does not affect the central nervous system and patients may not experience any symptoms

2. Non-paralytic: affects the central nervous system, produces mild symptoms, and does not result in paralysis

3. Paralytic: rarest and most serious and produces full or partial paralysis in the patient.

There are 3 types of paralytic polio:

1. spinal polio (affects the spine)

2. bulbar polio (affects the brainstem)

3. bulbospinal polio (affects the spine and brainstem)

He developed a vaccine for polio.

250,000 people have died from Polio

Yes, I have polio.

yes

Phase 1 of the program was on January 18, 2015. Phase 2 will be held on February 22, 2015.

Centers can be found across the country of India at corporation schools, government hospitals, other public health centers, bus stands, airports, railway stations, etc.

The treatment team ideally consists of the family physician, neurologist , infectious disease specialist, physical therapists, occupational therapists, specialty nurses, and family members

The Warm Springs Foundation

Although nearly 400,000 paralyzed polio survivors still live in the US, the number of new cases is essentially zero among US residents, with only 1 reported case from 2004 to 2009. The actual number of infections may be higher (up to a dozen per year) if immigrant cases are considered.

Since 1962, all residents of the US have been provided oral or injected vaccination against polio beginning around 1 year of age. Similar programs worldwide have reduced polio incidence to under 2000 cases a year despite endemic prevalence in 4 countries: India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Nigeria.

The virus enters the body through the mouth and travels from the intestine to the lymphatic system into the bloodstream and eventually invades the central nervous system and the brain.

The vaccination will very likely greatly reduce your risk of contracting and spreading polio.
