SUMMARY
Poliomyelitis is a viral disease that can effect nerves and can lead the partial or full paralysis.
Poliomyelitis is a disease caused by infection with the poliovirus. lack of immunization against
polio travel to an area that has experienced a polio outbreak can still accur in the developed
world these are three basic patterns of polio infection subdinical infection non – paralytic and
paralytic the health care provider may find abnormal reflexes. Back stiffness Tests include
cultures of throat washing stools or spinal fluid the goal of treatment is to control symptoms
while the infection runs its course possible complication that is aspiration pneumonia lack of
movement . prevention of polio that is immunization (vaccine) effectively prevents poliomyelitis
 CONCLUSION
After this health talk I conclude that my patient and the group gets the knowledge about
definition of poliomyelitis, causes of poliomyelitis, Risks includes poliomyelitis the signs and
symptoms of poliomyelitis, exam and tests for poliomyelitis treatment of poliomyelitis, possible
complications of poliomyelitis, How to prevent from poliomyelitis.
