what is 'poliomyelitis - viral infectious disease affecting nervous system '?
Definition for poliomyelitis
Poliomyelitis, often called polio or infantile paralysis, is an acute viral infectious disease which is spread from person-to-person via the fecal-oral route.
more
Poliomyelitis, often called polio or infantile paralysis, is an acute viral infectious disease which is spread from person-to-person via the fecal-oral route. The majority of polio infections are asymptomatic. In about 1% of cases the virus enters the central nervous system (CNS) via the blood stream. Within the CNS, poliovirus preferentially infects and destroys motor neurons. The destruction of motor neurons causes muscle weakness and flaccid paralysis.
