bulbar poliomyelitis.
Bulbar polio involves the infection of the brainstem and medulla. It can lead to difficulty breathing, swallowing, and speaking due to paralysis of the muscles in these areas.
Polio is a childhood disease that causes infantile paralysis. It is a highly contagious viral infection that can lead to paralysis and can be prevented through vaccination.
No, fungi do not cause polio. Polio is caused by the poliovirus, which infects the nervous system. Fungi are a different type of microorganism and are not associated with poliovirus infections.
The oral polio vaccine was formulated by Dr. Albert Sabin. He developed the vaccine in the 1950s as an alternative to the injectable polio vaccine created by Dr. Jonas Salk.

Polio virus is neither gram positive nor gram negative because it is a non-bacterial virus. Gram staining is a technique used to classify bacterial species based on their cell wall composition, so it does not apply to viruses like polio.
There are 3 types of poliomyelitis (polio) infection: 1. Sub-clinical: does not affect the central nervous system and patients may not experience any symptoms 2. Non-paralytic: affects the central nervous system, produces mild symptoms, and does not result in paralysis 3. Paralytic: rarest and most serious and produces full or partial paralysis in the patient. There are 3 types of paralytic polio: 1. spinal polio (affects the spine) 2. bulbar polio (affects the brainstem) 3. bulbospinal polio (affects the spine and brainstem)
Post-polio syndrome occurs some decades after the original infection with polio.

Polio is not caused by a bacterial infection. Polio is caused by a viral infection. While both are extremely tiny the viruses are 100 times smaller. Both viral and bacterial infections can sometimes be prevented by proper sanitation. Washing your hands after using the bathroom is a good way to avoid many viral and bacterial infections.
Causes of central sleep apnea include various severe and life-threatening lesions of the lower brainstem, which controls breathing. Examples include bulbar poliomyelitis , a form of polio affecting the brainstem.
Polio is a childhood disease that causes infantile paralysis. It is a highly contagious viral infection that can lead to paralysis and can be prevented through vaccination.
PPS occurs in about 25% of patients, several decades after their original infection with polio. However, long-term follow-up indicates that two thirds of polio survivors may experience new weakness.
Yes, post-polio syndrome occurs in individuals who have had polio typically 15-40 years after the initial infection. It is characterized by new muscle weakness or pain and can affect older patients who had polio earlier in life.
Poliomyelitis can enter the central nervous system and destroy motor neurons that can cause paralysis and muscle weakness/atrophy. Spinal polio is the most common form. Poliomyelitis is caused by poliovirus and used to be a dreadful disease in the 20th century. Now with better vaccines, the number of polio incidents have gone down.
The disease polio is more specifically poliomyelitis, an infection by the virus called, logically, poliovirus, a species of enterovirus.Another common name for polio in young children is infantile paralysis.
Polio is caused by an infection from the poliovirus. When a person is affected with it the virus resides in the intestinal tract and in the mucus in your nose and throat. It is usually spread through contact with the waste of an infected person. It is less frequently spread through contact with infected respiratory secretions - saliva.
