Progress toward global poliomyelitis eradication, 1999.

In 1988, the World Health Assembly resolved to eradicate poliomyelitis globally by the end of 2000. Since then, substantial progress has been made in implementing polio eradication strategies, and during 1999 these activities were accelerated to reach the global target. The number of countries where polio is endemic decreased, and the number and quality of vaccination rounds increased. Acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) surveillance improved, and political commitment and the global partnership for polio eradication strengthened. This report updates progress toward achieving the polio eradication go…

Паралитический полиомиелит - США, 1980-1994 годы.

Консультативный комитет по практике иммунизации (КГВ) недавно рекомендовал установить последовательный график вакцинации двух доз неактивированной полиомиелитвирусной вакцины (ИПВ), а затем две дозы пероральной полиомиелитвирусной вакцины (ОВП) для обычной вакцинации детей в Соединенных Штатах (1). АКИП пересмотрела свою рекомендацию в отношении регулярной вакцинации от полиомиелита по трем причинам: 1) паралитический полиомиелит, вызванный приобретенным коренными народами диким полиомиелитом, не имел место в Соединенных Штатах с 1979 года (2), 2) прогресс в деле ликвидации полиомиелита на гло

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recently recommended a sequential vaccination schedule of two doses of inactivated p … ACIP revised its recommendation for routine poliovirus vaccination for three reasons: 1) paralytic poliomyelitis attributable to indigenously acquired wild poliovirus has not occurred in the United States since 1979 (2), 2) progress toward global eradication of poliomyelitis has reduced the risk for importation of wild poliovirus into the United States (3), an …

Outbreaks of paralytic poliomyelitis, 1976-1995.

During 1976-1995, 48 outbreaks of paralytic poliomyelitis with a cumulative total of approximately 17,000 cases were reported worldwide. Outbreaks occurred on most continents, affected from 0.1 to 52 persons per 100,000 total population (median, 4.4), lasted 2-25 months (median, 7), typically involved unvaccinated or inadequately vaccinated subgroups within highly immunized communities, and were primarily caused by poliovirus type 1 (74%). Cases in developing countries occurred predominantly among children <2 years of age, while those in industrialized countries tended to occur in older person…

Late functional deterioration following paralytic poliomyelitis.

Many patients with previous poliomyelitis develop 'post-polio syndrome' (PPS) in which late functional deterioration follows a period of relative stability. The frequency with which PPS can be attributed to clearly defined causes remains uncertain. We reviewed 283 newly-referred patients with previous poliomyelitis seen consecutively over a 4-year period; 239 patients developed symptoms of functional deterioration at a mean of 35 (5-65) years after the paralytic illness. Functional deterioration was associated with orthopaedic disorders in 170 cases, neurological disorders in 35, respiratory d…

Progress toward poliomyelitis eradication--Indonesia, 1995.

In 1988, Indonesia (1991 population: 181 million) adopted the goal of eradicating poliomyelitis by the year 2000. Although routine coverage with three doses or oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV3) has been >90% among 1-year-old children since 1991, cases of polio continue to be reported. To interrupt poliovirus transmission, National Immunization Days (NIDs) were conducted during September 13-17 and October 18-22, 1995, resulting in vaccination of >22 million children aged <5 years (representing approximately 100% of the target population). NIDs are planned for September 10-14 and October 15-19, 199…

Progress toward poliomyelitis eradication--Egypt, 1993.

Since 1990, the Ministry of Health in Egypt has directed efforts toward achieving poliomyelitis eradication by the end of 1994. To achieve this goal, the Egyptian Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) has progressively implemented each of four World Health Organization (WHO)-recommended strategies: 1) increasing and sustaining routine coverage with oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV); 2) conducting National Immunization Days (NIDs); 3) developing surveillance for acute flaccid paralysis (AFP), including laboratory confirmation of cases; and 4) instituting "mopping-up" vaccination (i.e., house-to-ho…
