Infantile paralysis is highly contagious and caused by the poliomyelitis virus.
Infantile paralysis is highly contagious and caused by the poliomyelitis virus. The disease can produce no symptoms or show general symptoms such as fatigue, fever, headaches and muscle pain. However, if the virus attacks the central nervous system (brain, spinal cord), it can cause paralysis and shortness of breath. This can have long-term consequences. It’s important to vaccinate yourself and your children.
