TBE BRUSSEL POST 1'1'51 DI\T.,'?.S1)A4`, SRPTI MIII11 fat 1937 ONTARIO A Statement by the Ontario Department of Health on INFANTILC In view of the prevalence of "infantile paralysis" in Ont felt by parents over the protection of their children, the Pro merit concerning the nature of the disease and the question o Nature of the Disease Like measles and scarlet fever, "infantile paralysis" is a communicable or "catching" disease. Like them also, it is mainly a disease of childhood. Yet the term `infantile" is apt to be misleading. While it is true that the majority of cases occur among children under ten years of age, the disease does occur, especially in rural districts, among older children and young adults. The term "paralysis" is likewise misleading since it con- veys the impression that some loss of muscular function is characteristic of every case of the disease. This is not true. ' ; mow known that only a small proportion of those who contract the disease actually develop paralysis. Since the disease is not limited to infants and since paralysis does not occur in all cases, the name "infantile paralysis" is now regarded as a misnomer. The correct name for rhe disease is "polio-myel-itis", which simply means acute inflammation ("itis") of rhe grey matter ("polio") of special portions of the spinal cord which control movement of the muscles. This inflammation is believed to be due to a special sort of infection which probably gains entrance to the ner- vous system through the upper parr of the nose and throat. Cause of the Disease Poliomyelitis has been definitely recognized as a com- municable disease since 1909 when investigators succeeded in securing from humans, i11 with the disease, a minute living substance called a "virus" which was found to be capable of producing poliomyelitis in monkeys. Much remains to be discovered about the nature of this virus but a good deal has already been learned. In size, it has been found to be less than one millionth of au inch in diameter. The virus is present in the nervous tissue of humans who have died from the disease. It is also found in the nose and throat, not only of persons ill with the disease, but also of persons who have been in contact with the disease. How the Disease Spreads The exact manner in which the disease is transmitted from one person to another is not known. However, the disease does not arise spontaneously. The source of infection is a human being who is carrying the virus. Such a person need not necessarily be suffering from the disease. Yet the mere presence of the virus in the nose and throat affords ample opportunity for spread of infection. In such cases minute particles are given off by coughing, sneezing and talking. Fingers are constantly being carried to and from the mouth and nose and in this way articles, such as improperly washed eating and drinking utensils, common towels, children's toys, etc., may become contaminated. Any set of eircatlnstances which permits the fre- quent and rapid transfer of nose and throat secretions from one person to another increases the possibility of infection. There is no evidence that flies or other insects play an important part in 0110 spread of poliomyelitis. Chlorination of municipal water supplies as now prac- tised, and the proper pasteurization of milk have eliminated water and milk as possible sources of infection. Situs and Symptoms of the Disease The early symptoms of poliomyelitis are neither constant nor regular in their appearance, but certain of them are sufficiently suggestive to warrant the summoning of the family physician. The onset is usually sudden, with rapidly rising TEMPERATURE, fluctuating between 101-103 degrees. HEADACHE is another common symptom. The young child is apt to appear irritable and cries easily when dis- turbed. The patient is usually willing to stay in bed, appears drowsy and takes little interest in his surroundings. ARAnSIS") ti ario at the present time, and in recognition of the deep concern vinciitl Department of Health is issuing the following state- ' what can be done to reduce the dangar of infection. VOMITING is fairly characteristic. Constipation is often present, whereas diarrhoea is unusual. Food is refused. Often the characteristic symptoms of COLD or SORE THROAT are present. SORENESS IN THE MUSCLES of the hack and STIFFNESS and pain in the joints of the arms and legs may occur. - In many cases of - poliomyelitis the condition does not go beyond this stage, and terminates after four to ten days' ilin(ss. However, in other cases, the disease proceeds into a second stage, in which the elevation of temperature and rapid pulse are accompanied by marked irritability and drowsiness. The patient becomes mentaily disturbed and takes on an anxious, ft "tatetied expression. Sleep may he disturbed by twitching and the hands may shake and tremble. The following specific signs are of particular importance: STIFFNESS OF THE SPINE. The head may be hent on the sec!: hut efforts to pend the neck on the shoulders cause pain and are resisted. The child is unable, while sitting up in ped, to bend his head down to touch the knees, 1f he bends at all, it is at the hips with the back hc!d rigid. PECULIAR SITTING POSTURE, When he sirs up he props himself behind with extended arms supporting, a tender or j i1 .1 spine. Preventive Measures The precautionary measure of first importance is to pro- tect the child from contact with infection. Since other human beings are the prilsary source of infection, then children, who are evidently much more susceptible than adults, should be protected as far as is reasonably possible from contact with people. "Keep your child in your own yard" is a wise pre- caution. In crowded stores, street cars; motion picture theatres, bathing pools, picnics,—in fact, in any set- ting where there is a Large number of people, the chances of exposure to possible infection are tremend- ously increased. Of equal importance for the protection of children is the prompt calling of a physician if the child shows the indications of illness described above. Convalescent Serum Medical opinion is divided concerning the effectiveness of the so-called "Convalescent Serum" in poliomyelitis. In the absence of conclusive evidence, the Department is con- tinuing to supply this serum to physicians on request. Owing to the limited supply available, its use must of necessity, be limited to cases suffering an attack of the disease. Nasal Spray Based on the assumption that the virus enters the body through the upper part of rhe nose, attempts are being made to prevent its entrance by spraying the nasal passages with certain chemicals. Since this method is still entirely in the experimental stage, it is 1100 one which can be recommended for general use. Precautions in the Care of Those 111 When a diagnosis of poliomyelitis has been made, the patient must he isolated for a period of at least three weeks. Since other members of the family are likely to be carriers of the virus., the protection of the community requires that they be quarantined until the danger of further spread has hen eliminated. Care should be taken to see that articles which may have become contaminated by the patient are disinfected or burned. Special precautions should be taken in regard to the disposal of nasal and alimentary discharges. "Those who are handling the patient should exercise special care regarding their hands and person before coming in contact with other people.
