Presents a Statement by
f l.} dee,
MYELITIS)
Realizing the anxiety which exists in the public inind today with respect to the increased prevalence of Poliomyelitis
("Infantile Paralysis") in Toronto and other parts of the province, the Academy of Medicine of Toronto, which
represents more than one thousand physicians, called a special meeting of its Council, September 1st, to review the
whole situation.. To this meeting were invited representatives from all departments of medicine interested in this
subject.
At the conclusion of the conference,: during which time all of the pertinent facts of the present situation
were presented and discussed, it was felt that, in fairness to the public, an official statement should be made to
set forth the fact; exactly as they exist. To this end, a committee was appointed to prepare and issue an official
statement, which follows:
•
Poliomyelitis ("Infantile Paralysis") is a. communicable disease.
It is definitely known that it is caused by the entrance into the
body of a minute form of life known as a virus. 'It is knoll=n
also that this virus enters commonly through the upper part of
the nasal tract, There is no evidence that the disease is con-
veyed by flies or domestic animals:
When an outbreak of the disease occurs, healthy persons as
well as those ill with the disease are fo end to harbour the virus
in the secretions of the nose and dundt:''tr�e'disease is, there-
fore, spread through the contact of persons one with another.
Usually the virus occasions only a. mild illness: but some -
tunes the virus enters the central nervous system, which may
result in paralysis. The majority of adults are not susceptible
to the disease. .
Present Situation
While the number of cases reported in Toronto is greater than
in any previous outbreak of this disease, and there Is no reason
to prestune that the incidence rate is likely to decline within
the next two or -three weeks, it must be borne in mind that not
2570 of these cases show any evidence whatever of paralysis.
Furthermore, among those developing paralysis, the majority
eventually will recover complete use of their paralysed limbs.
It would appear, therefore, that while there is every reason for
the publicto view the present situation with concern, there is
no justification for undue alarm or hysterical behaviour.
According to figures computed by the Department of
Health, Ontario, to date, there are esdmated to be'750 cases in
Ontario, of which 285 have occurred in the City of Toronto.
Of this number, 212 cases have beenadmitted to the Riverdale
Isolation Hospital, only 54 of whom developed some degree
of paralysis. There were 11 deaths in this group. Statistics of
a similar nature apply to the Hospital for Sick Children, which
has received its cases not only from Toronto but from other
parts of the province.
Control Measures r
These include the strict isolation of all persons ill with the
disease and the quarantine of those who have been in imme-
diate contact.
In as much as it is not known who are or are not carriers
of this disease, it is advisable to reduce to a minimum, contact
with other people. In other words, keep out of crowds. As
children are particularly susceptible, it is most important that
they be kept as far as possible from mingling -with other per-
sons.
ersons. For this reason, the opening of the schools of Toronto
has been deferred and the Department of Health of the Pro-
vince of Ontario has recommended to parents that they see to
it that their children avoid attendance at theatres, playgrounds;,
bathing pools - and beaches and other places of amusement
where children congregate. The Academy agrees with the pro-
vincial and municipal health authorities that the responsibility
for the control of the activities of children is primarily the
duty of the parents.
The Department of Health of Ontario has; completed
within its own organization plans whereby serum for the
treatment of this disease is available in any part of the province
upon the request of the attending physician,.
Nasal Spray -
Experimental work with animals indicates that Poliomyelitis
can be prevented by spraying the extreme upper part of the
inside of the' nose with a harmless solution of zinc sulphate!.
This was discovered during the past year. To date, its value in
the prevention of Poliomyelitis in humans is not known. To
be in any degree effective, the spray must be applied high uta
inside the nose. This can only be done with a specially con-
--strutted atomizer and by a physician thoroughly familiar with
this type of work. The application of this or any other spray
by an ordinary atomizer or to the lower part of the nose Is
quite useless. The possible value of the nasal spray properly
administered is being determined at the present time in.Toronto.
The Council of the Academy of Medicine of Taranto
endorses the attitude adopted by the provincial Department of
Health and the local Board of Health in respect to measures
designed to control the present situation. We would respect-
fully suggest that the genera/ public willbest serve its own
interests by endeavoring to follow the advice which is being
given by these health authorities. -
