Characteristics of the disease and epidemiology

Polio is an acute viral disease that can affect the central nervous system (CNS) causing flaccid paralysis. The site of
The entry of the virus is generally oral, it multiplies in the lymph nodes of the pharynx and the gastrointestinal tract. It enters the bloodstream.
and then invades nerve cells where it multiplies in the cytoplasm, damages them, and destroys them (when it replicates and destroys neurons
motor neurons of the previous spinal and/or bulbar roots). People may present with a mild illness indistinguishable from other causes. In
Most of the time, poliovirus infection is asymptomatic; sometimes it causes mild symptoms and only very rarely leads to paralysis.
symptoms include fever, general malaise, headache, nausea, and vomiting; if the disease progresses, intense myalgias and stiffness may appear
neck and back, with or without flaccid paralysis.

The site of paralysis depends on the location of the destruction of the cells, whether in the spinal cord or in the brainstem, but
characteristically it is asymmetric.
The last case in Mexico occurred in 1990 in Tomatlán, Jalisco.

In 1988, the 41st World Health Assembly adopted a resolution on the global eradication of polio that marked the creation of the
Global Polio Eradication Initiative, led by the World Health Organization (WHO), Rotary International
International, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the U.S. (CDC), and the United Nations Fund for
Childhood (UNICEF); since then, the number of cases has decreased by more than 99%. The absence of poliomyelitis was certified in the
WHO's Americas region in 1994, in the Western Pacific Region in 2000, and in the European Region in July 2002. On the 27th of
March 2014 it was certified that the Southeast Asia region was free from poliomyelitis, which means that the transmission of wild poliovirus
has been interrupted in that group of 11 countries that extends from Indonesia to India. However, transmission continues to be
endemic in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Due to the significant risk of having new annual cases, the WHO, in consultation with the countries affected by polio, stakeholders,
the donors, the partners, and the national and international advisory bodies have developed the 'Comprehensive Strategic Plan for Eradication
of Polio and the final phase 2013-2018" which was presented at the Global Vaccine Summit in April 2013; being the first plan
intended to simultaneously eradicate all types of poliomyelitis, both from wild poliovirus and from vaccine-derived poliovirus.

Etiological agent:
Polio viruses are riboviruses, with icosahedral symmetry, naked, in icosahedral or rounded shape, and small in size (30nm). The three
Polio virus serotypes are classified within the Picornaviridae family (picornavirus) in the Enterovirus genus and in the Enterovirus C species.
humans, in which other related viruses are also found. There are three antigenic types known: 1) Brunhilda, 2) Lansing, and 3) León.
the three strains of wild poliovirus, since 1999 it has been possible to stop the transmission of type 2 poliovirus and the number of cases caused by
Polio virus type 3 is at its lowest level.

Distribution:
Worldwide. In temperate regions, it appears during the summer and autumn with some seasonal variations from one year to another and from one region to another.
In countries with tropical climates, the disease occurs at any time of the year.
Reservoir:
The man. Chronic carriers have not been identified. It consists both of patients suffering from an active disease and of the
individuals with asymptomatic infections. Polioviruses are eliminated through feces and respiratory route, where they are found not only during the
active disease but is detected later. In children, fecal elimination is 3-4 weeks.

Mode of transmission:
Through the fecal-oral route, especially in areas where there are sanitation deficiencies: The contagion occurs particularly through a fecal mechanism.
oral through water, food, or hands, contaminated with infected feces.
Oral-to-oral transmission is likely to predominate in industrialized countries and also during outbreaks: There may be person-to-person transmission.
a person, oral-oral.
Respiratory transmission is surely important in high hygiene environments.

Incubation period:
From 7 to 14 days, with a minimum limit of 4 and a maximum of 40 days.

Period of transmissibility:
It is not known exactly. The polio virus is detectable in the pharyngeal secretion from 36 hours and in the feces 72 hours after the
exposure to infection. The virus persists in the throat for about a week, but continues to be isolated in that for 6 to 8 weeks. The
the maximum risk of contagion occurs two or three days before and six to seven days after the onset of clinical manifestations of the
disease.

Susceptibility:
Universal. Children under five years old are usually more susceptible than adults, however the risk of paralytic disease
It increases with age. Any subject that is not vaccinated is susceptible.

Immunity:
Immunity is acquired through infection with the wild virus and through vaccination. The acquired responses are humoral and
cells (intestinal locales). This immunity has type specificity and is permanent. Vaccination with the anti-poliomyelitis vaccine.
Inactivated (VIP) confers humoral immunity and relatively less intestinal immunity, so vaccination with VIP does not provide resistance to
transport and spread of the wild virus in the community. Immune individuals have IgA antibodies against poliomyelitis present in
the tonsils and the gastrointestinal tract and can block the replication of the virus, while the IgG and IgM antibodies against PV
it can prevent the spread of the virus to the motor neurons of the central nervous system.

Pathogenesis:
Polioviruses enter through the oral route and replicate in the digestive tract at the oropharyngeal and intestinal levels, spreading to the regional lymphatics.
producing a first viremia. This seeding leads them to the reticuloendothelial system where they replicate again and produce a second
viremia through which they reach different organs, including the CNS. The virus penetrates it during this viremia and perhaps, also, through
axonal transport from the neuromuscular synapse.
Its ability to infect exclusively humans and some primates via the oral route is due to the cells of the epithelium associated with the
follicles, M cells, and Peyer's patches express their specific receptor, CD155, to which the capsid binds; this receptor is what explains
its ulterior tropism.
The replication of polioviruses follows these steps: they attach to their receptor CD155 and enter through endocytosis. They lose the capsid in the
interior of the cell they parasitize. The VPg protein is cleaved by a cellular phosphodiesterase and the translation of the ss (+) RNA is produced.

flaccid paralysis, whose persistence is related to the intensity and extent of the damage.

The three types of viruses show not only a different antigenicity but also a different pathogenicity; the one that caused the most paralysis was the
type 1 and the least type 2. The cVDPV strains and many of the iVDPV are capable of producing paralytic polio.

The infection is usually asymptomatic or inapparent in more than 90% of cases. In symptomatic forms, polio can be abortive or mild.

In patients who suffered from polio in childhood, a condition may appear after many years, fifteen or more, characterized by

85% of this population lacks specific treatment.

There are two forms of illness. Minor and major illness, differentiated and specific to young children, and that in adolescents and
adults do not differ. The symptoms of the mild disease coincide with the first viremia. They are nonspecific: fever, vomiting, diarrhea,
headache and discomfort. In most cases, the disease stops at this point. It is called 'abortive poliomyelitis.'
In some cases, the disease progresses and symptoms of 'paralytic poliomyelitis' appear: high fever, severe headache, vomiting, and pain in
the lumbar region and neck affecting muscle groups preventing walking. If this situation does not progress and returns, it is called 'poliomyelitis'
no paralytic." If, on the contrary, they persist and progress, spinal poliomyelitis or bulbar poliomyelitis can occur. The former is more common.
and is characterized by asymmetric flaccid paralysis of the trunk and limbs, with a variable degree of affectation ranging from mild paralysis to a
tetraplegia and respiratory paralysis. Generally, it progresses until the fever disappears.
In the affected limbs, there is a decrease or abolition of the osteotendinous reflexes, along with severe muscle atrophy.
Diagnosis and prognosis:
Polio is one of the causes to consider in the differential diagnosis of acute flaccid paralysis that may have other etiologies.

serological characterization (neutralization) of the type and to differentiate whether it is wild or VDPV an ELISA, a hybridization or a PCR. This
the procedure has been surpassed as most laboratories in the health network use a PCR-TR and for the characterization of the VDPV
a PCR-TR of the genes that encode VP1. Given the genetic plasticity of polioviruses, studies of molecular epidemiology are
essentials. PCR-TR has been developed which allows for the detection of vaccine viruses directly in feces and wastewater.

Viruses can also be searched for in:

Respiratory secretions
Viral culture (stool, throat, and cerebrospinal fluid)
Polymerase chain reaction with reverse transcriptase in blood or cerebrospinal fluid

Although they are rare, cases of vaccine-derived poliovirus paralysis (VAPP) can occur after oral vaccination in both recipients and
contacts, especially after the first dose.
In 2014, the WHO updated its position regarding polio vaccination. It emphasizes the recommendation to add, in countries where
