title: The reappearance of polio. Postpolio syndrome.
abstract: Although polio is often considered a disease of the past, new symptoms are appearing in patients infected with the polio virus many years ago. Many patients who contracted a paralytic form of poliomyelitis 3, 4, or even 7 decades ago are now relieving their childhood symptoms in what is known as postpolio syndrome.
