Description
Another name for polio was Poliomieltis. Poliovirus enteroviruses belonging to the genus of this family Picornavirus.Virus resistant to physical and chemical effects. In addition, patients can live in feces for 90-100 days. This virus can also survive long in the waste water and surface water, even through miles and miles from the source of infection.

In addition, patients can live in feces for 90-100 days. This virus can also survive long in the waste water and surface water, even through miles and miles from the source of infection.
Polio is spread mainly through fecal contamination, especially in areas with poor environmental sanitation. Transmission also occurs through the faecal-oral route. This means that the food / drink contaminated polio virus from stool into the mouths of people with other healthy people. While the oral-oral route is spread from saliva of patients who go into other healthy human mouth.
The characteristics of polio survivors is neurological damage. The damage stems from an experienced virus incubation for 5-35 days in the body. Subsequently the virus was first developed in the wall of the pharynx (the throat) or lower GI. Of gastrointestinal virus spread to local lymph tissue or regional. Finally, the virus spreads into the bloodstream prior to penetrate and multiply in nervous tissue.
Poliomyelitis has a tendency to be more damaging motor nerve cells in the spinal cord and brain stem. Polio often causes nerve damage that makes the growth of the patient's body becomes asymmetric. So that tends to cause the body shape that is generally settled even worse.
Symptom
Clinical picture of poliomyelitis in humans vary widely, from very mild symptoms until there is paralysis (paralysis). Clinical symptoms begin with fever, feeling weak, headache and vomiting. Within 24 hours seen in the neck and back stiffness. Patient looks sleepy, iritabel, and anxiety. Sometimes accompanied by muscle stiffness and mild muscle aches.
In the event of paralysis (paralysis) usually begins in a few seconds up to five days after the headache. Paralysis of the limbs are paralyzed and usually on one leg.
Treatment
Treatment of the disease poliomyelitis is very difficult and there are no specifics, but depending on complications that occur. In addition to physiotherapy and orthopedics to consider the function of other organs.
Polio can be prevented by immunization. Dead virus vaccine administered by intramuscular injection. While living through the mouth by droplets. Live attenuated virus is more effective than a dead virus. In addition to the increase in immunization environmental sanitation and personal hygiene is necessary.
