Detection of Non-Polio Enteroviruses From 17 Years of Virological Surveillance of Acute Flaccid Paralysis in the Philippines
Acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) surveillance has been conducted as part of the World Health Organization (WHO) strategy on poliomyelitis eradication. Aside from poliovirus, which is the target pathogen, isolation, and identification of non-polio enteroviruses (NPEVs) is also done by neutralization test using pools of antisera which can only identify limited number of NPEVs. In the Philippines, de...

متن کاملPolio Eradication and Acute Flaccid Paralysis Surveillance
Since 1988, when the World Health Assembly resolved to eradicate polio, the number of polio cases worldwide has decreased from 350,000 to fewer than 800 cases in 2003. This was achieved through high vaccination coverage, augmented by quality surveillance for acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) and mop-up vaccination campaigns. Although the European region was certified “poliofree” in 2002, as long as...
متن کاملSerum IgG and IgA levels in polio and non-polio acute flaccid paralysis cases in western Uttar Pradesh, India.
OBJECTIVE IgG and IgA immunocompetence of children with wild poliovirus poliomyelitis and non-polio acute flaccid paralysis. METHODS 932 cases of acute flaccid paralysis, reported in 2008-2009, were tested for presence of polio and non-polio enteroviruses according to the WHO standards.

متن کاملAcute Flaccid Paralysis Surveillance
In 1992 surveillance of acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) cases was introduced in Malaysia along with the establishment of a national referral laboratory at the Institute for Medical Research. The objective of this study was to determine the incidence, viral etiology and clinical picture of AFP cases below 15 years of age, reported from 2002 to 2007. Six hundred seventy-eight of 688 reported cases ...
