چکیده

Ao discutir a luta contra a poliomielite no Brasil, a obra A história da poliomielite, organizada pela pesquisadora da Fiocruz Dilene Raimundo do Nascimento, traz alguns capítulos sobre o enfrentamento da doença no Peru (Marcos Cueto et al.), Portugal (Inês Santos), Espanha (Juan Rodríguez Sánchez) e Paquistão (José Verani). No Brasil (Dilene Nascimento, André Campos, Ângela Pôrto) e nos outros países, o livro aborda, entre vários temas, as questões correlatas de “controle e erradicação” da pólio, a evolução das campanhas e dos resultados obtidos, os distintos contextos sanitários e a eficácia ou o fracasso das políticas sanitárias postas em prática em cada país. Dividido em quatro partes, o livro constrói uma narrativa histórica e analítica do ambiente da saúde nacional e internacional do pós-Segunda Guerra Mundial. Chama a atenção para a formulação e execução de políticas de saúde que foram postas em ação e que tinham como meta a erradicação da doença – as estratégias nacionais de combate; o desenvolvimento de técnicas laboratoriais para diagnóstico; as campanhas de vacinação, que buscavam mudar o quadro da poliomielite no Brasil e no mundo. Os debates tiveram início nas primeiras décadas do século XX, quando a enfermidade passou a se manifestar sob forma epidêmica em várias partes do mundo. A epidemia assolou tanto países ricos, como os EUA, a Inglaterra e a Suécia, quanto países periféricos, como a Índia, a Somália, a República Democrática do Congo, o Paquistão e o Sudão. Cada vez mais incontrolável e destrutiva, fazia vítimas fatais e deixava milhares de crianças e adultos paralisados. Médicos e autoridades sanitárias desconheciam por que caminhos a pólio se disseminava: os caminhos eram difíceis de ser previstos; a doença, difícil de ser evitada e de ser tratada de forma eficiente. A partir de 1950 surgem novas tecnologias de controle e erradicação da doença, Poliomielite: várias histórias da doença e de seus efeitos tardios
