Vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis.

چکیده
In the wake of the World Health Organization’s (WHO) program to eradicate poliomyelitis globally by the end of the year 2000 (in 1997 only 5,186 cases were reported world-wide), attention has focussed on the importance of good surveillance of acute flaccid paralysis, which is essential for a country to qualify for being declared polio-free, and on the occurrence of vaccine–associated paralytic poliomyelitis (VAPP).

Vaccine-associated Paralytic Poliomyelitis in Immunodeficient Children, Iran, 1995–2008
To determine the prevalence of vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis (VAPP) in immunodeficient infants, we reviewed all documented cases caused by immunodeficiency-associated vaccine-derived polioviruses in Iran from 1995 through 2008. Changing to an inactivated polio vaccine vaccination schedule and introduction of screening of neonates for immunodeficiencies could reduce the risk for VAP...

CONTEXT The last case of poliomyelitis in the United States due to indigenously acquired wild poliovirus occurred in 1979; however, as a consequence of oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV) use that began in 1961, an average of 9 cases of vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis (VAPP) were confirmed each year from 1961 through 1989. To reduce the VAPP burden, national vaccination policy changed in 1...

A major factor influencing the success of poliomyelitis eradication in the Americas was the reliance on mass immunization campaigns with oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV). As global poliomyelitis eradication activities accelerate and campaign vaccine delivery strategies are applied elsewhere, it is critical to determine whether the risk of vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis (VAPP) is altere...
متن کاملReversion to the Neurovilurent Genome Sequence of Polio Vaccine Virus Isolated from Community-Acquired Meningitis
Neurologic complication associated with the use of live attenuated oral poliomyelitis vaccine is uncommon, but vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis in recipients or contacts has sometimes been reported. We report here a community-acquired aseptic meningitis case and the genetic investigation of the isolated poliovirus type 2. The results of the genetic analysis indicate that the mechanism...

In the prevaccine era, infection with wild poliovirus (WPV) was common worldwide, with seasonal peaks and epidemics in the summer and fall in temperate areas. The incidence of poliomyelitis in the United States declined rapidly after the licensure of inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) in 1955 and live oral polio vaccine (OPV) in the 1960s. The last cases of indigenously acquired WPV in the United ...
