Polio is a disease caused by a contagious virus that attacks the body including muscles and nerves and can cause paralysis, difficulty breathing that sometimes ended in death. Transmission of this virus can be through direct contact, splashing through saliva or feces of patients with polio.
Although polio can cause paralysis or death, but most people infected with the virus do not become ill and did not realize that he had been infected with polio. People infected with the polio virus but did not cause paralysis called nonparalytic polio, which caused symptoms such as fever, sore throat, headache, vomiting, fatigue, neck pain or stiffness, muscle spasms
While polio causes paralysis called paralytic polio is the most severe form of polio. The initial symptoms that arise are fever, headache and sometimes experience symptoms of polio nonparalytic. But within 1-10 days of paralysis onset of symptoms such as loss of reflexes, severe muscle pain, seizures and limb such as loose or no power. Beginning of this paralysis can occur suddenly.
People who have recovered from polio sometimes there is experiencing post- polio syndrome, post- polio syndrome is generally characterized by muscle weakness, joint and pain, fatigue although few do the activities, muscle atrophy, problems in breathing or swallowing, sleep disturbances and not resistant to cold air.
Despite the improvement of sanitation and hygiene can help reduce the spread of polio, but the most effective prevention is through the polio vaccine given during childhood or for adults who want to go to polio endemic areas. This vaccine can protect up to 90 percent.
