Abstract
The sustained worldwide use of the two available types of polio vaccines has significantly reduced the incidence of this disease. Our main objective is to report a 11-year monitoring period for acute flaccid paralysis secondary to poliovirus in Guinea. It was a retrospective descriptive study for all cases of acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) in which poliovirus was isolated by stool examination. During 11 years, 768 cases of AFP, including 8 cases of acute anterior poliomyelitis were collected at a frequency of 1%. The average age was 3.5 years with extremes of 1 year and 6 years, the most represented age group was 0-4 years with 7 cases. Six mothers were housewives doing gold panning as a revenue generating activity. The vaccine virus (serotype 2) was the most isolated with 6 cases.
期刊介绍：
Le Bulletin de la Société de pathologie exotique et la société savante (SPE) dont il est la vitrine ont été créés en 1908 par Alphonse Laveran. Destiné, dans un premier temps, à servir de support à la publication des travaux des sociétaires présentés en séance sous forme de communication ou de mémoire, ce périodique est devenu, au fil du temps, une revue internationale francophone multidisciplinaire, ouverte à tous les médecins, vétérinaires, anthropologues et chercheurs travaillant dans le domaine de la médecine tropicale humaine et animale et de la santé publique dans les pays en voie de développement.
