For the first time in nearly a decade, a polio infection (infantile paralysis) has been diagnosed in the US. An unvaccinated Rockaway County resident has contracted polio, the New York State Health Department said Thursday.
According to media reports, polio has been eradicated in the United States since 1979. The last known case of a proven infection occurred in the United States in 2013, it is said.
Can cause permanent paralysis
Polio – also called polio – is a contagious, contagious disease that can cause paralysis and death. It can cause permanent paralysis, especially in small children.
The highly contagious virus is often spread through contaminated water. Until now there is no cure for polio, the pathogen has been defeated with nationwide vaccinations.
