INFANTILE
11

I
LYSIS")
In view of the prevalence of"infantile paralysis" in Ontario at -the present time, and in recognition of the deep concern
felt by parents over the protection of their children, the Provincial Department of Health is issuing the following state-
tr ent concerning the nature of the disease and .the question of what can be. done to reduce the danger of infection.
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 [lac term "infantile" is apt
to be misleading. While it is true that the majority of cases
occur among cbildren,under ten years of age, the disease
does occur, especially in rural districts, among older children
and young adults. -
The -teen aralysis" :icelikewise misleading since it con- -
v the `snail jressdon 'that-,r'eloss of muscular function is
c aracxeriisticc of every, case of the disease. This is not true.
It is now known that duly a small proportion of those who
.,,aooii tact the disease actually develop paralysis.
Since ice .disease Is not limited to infants and since
paralysis--doessnot occur in. all caases, the -name "infantile
paralysis's is now regarded as a misnomer. The correct name
for the disease is "polio -myelitis", which si f npty means acute
inflammation ("ins") of the grey matter ("polio") of special
portions of the sinal cord; which control movement of the
muscles. This ' : ammo +don is believed to be due to a special
sort of infec#ion which probably gains enuance to the ner-
vous system through the upper part of the nose and throat.
Cause bf the Disease
Poliomyelitis has beet: definitely recognized as a com-
amunitable *disease since 1909 when investigators succeeded
in securing from humans, ill with the disease, a tninute
iiving substance .called a "virus" which was found to be
capable of producing pditiomyelitis in monkeys.
-Much-remains ttr-be• discovered about -the- natured of this
virus but a- good deal.. hits • already been learned. In size, it
has been found W be less than one millicnth of an inch
in dia -teeter. The virus is present in the nervous tissue of
humans who Have died from the disease. Itis also found in
the nose and throat, not only of persons i11 with the disease,
but also of persons who have been in•contact with the disease.
Flow 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. Thesource of infection is a
human beinil 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
• articles are given off by cs ughin , sneezing and talking.
Fingers are constantly being carried to and from the mud h th
and nose and in tbit way articles, such as improperly Washed
eating and drinking utensils, common towels, children's
toys, etc.,, •rnay be ` . ' contantinated.
•
Any art of cited, i tatancee which pef•mita the fre-
quent and rapid transfer of nose and throat secretions
from eine perataon "tar another incr"eaaeas the possibility
of infection. •
There is no evidence that flies or other insects play an
important pact in" the Spread of poliomyelitis.
Chlorination of municipal water sup?lies as now prac- •
tised, and the proper pasteurization of milk have eliminated
water and milk' as ipossible sources of infection.
Signs 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 101-1.03 degrees.
HEADACHE is another common symptom. The young
child is apt to appear irritable acid cries easily when dis'
turbed. The patient is ustaally willing to stay in bed, appears
drowsy and takes 'tittle interest its his surroundings.
VOMITING _is fairly chartcttrisuc. Consupatioi' Is ,
often present. whereas diarrhoea is unusual. Food is refused.
Often the characteristic symptoms of COLD or SORE
THROAT are present.
SORENESS' IN THE_ ItIUSC LES of the pack 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' -
illness. -
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 mentally disturbed and takes
on an anxious, frightened expression. Sleep may be disturbed
by twitching and the hands may shake and tremble.
The following specific signs are of particular importances
STIFFNESS OF THE SPINE. The head may be bent on
che neck but efforts to bend the neck on the shoulders cause
gain and are resisted. The child is unable, while ,sittingg up
in bed, to bend his head down to touch the knees. If he
bends at all, it is at the hips with che back held rigid,
PECULIAR SiTTiNG POSTURE. When he sits up he
props himself behind with extended arms supporting a
tender or painful spine.•
)
Preventive Measures
rhe preCautionary measure of first importance is to pro-
tect the child from contact with infection. Since other
human beings are therimary source of infection, then
children, who are evidently muck mote susceptible than
adults, should be protected as far as is reasonably possible
from contact with people.
"Keep your child in your own yard" is -aa 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•,showa
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, theDepartment is con-
tinuing to supplythis serum to physicians on request.
Owing to the limited supply available, its use mttst of
necessity be limited to cases suffering an attack, of the
disease.
Nasal Spray
Based on the assump'Cion that the virus enters the body
through the upper part of the nose, attempts are being made
torevent its entrance by spraying p the nasal passages with
certain chemicals. Since this method is still entirely in the
experimental stage, it is not 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 be.isolated for a penod of at least duce weeks.
Since other niernbers of the farriily are likely to be carriers
of the virus, the protection of the community requires that
they be quarantined until the dange: of further spread has
been 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.
