. A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/p3g9h33 . .A rare polio-like disease has been identified in five kids in California over a year paralyzing either one or more arms or legs.
. snip ."Although poliovirus has been eradicated from most of the globe, other viruses can also injure the spine, leading to a polio-like syndrome," said case report author Keith Van Haren, MD, Stanford University, and a member of the American Academy of Neurology. "In the past decade, newly identified strains of enterovirus have been linked to polio-like outbreaks among children in Asia and Australia. These five new cases highlight the possibility of an emerging infectious polio-like syndrome in California."
.Out of the five children three were diagnosed with respiratory illness before the symptoms became visible. They were treated for this condition but no improvement was noticed.
. "We know definitively that it isn't polio," Van Haren said to LA Times. .Even after six months they continued to have poor limb function. Two out of five tested positive for enterovirus-68, a rare virus that was earlier linked with polio like symptoms, while no cause seen in the remaining three kids, ruling out the virus to be a causative agent.
