[Waiting for the end of poliomyelitis. Setting of the last phase of the eradication program. National Commission for the Certification of the Eradication of Poliomyelitis].

The worldwide eradication of poliomyelitis is expected within a few years. A reinforcement of epidemiological, clinical and viral supervision is necessary. Besides a sustained immunization effort, particular attention is required from all clinicians concerning the cases of non-traumatic acute flacid palsy that they may observe. In these cases it is asked to clinicians to perform a search for enterovirus in stool and spinal fluid, and a poliomyelitis serology.
