The Late Effects Of Polio

This paper, archived from the website of Queensland Health, discusses Poliomyelitis (commonly referred to as polio) and has typically been considered a chronic, yet stable disease. Many polio survivors are now experiencing symptoms of fatigue, weakness and pain, which are often debilitating and having a profound effect of their quality of life. These symptoms, that are affecting the individual years after their recovery from their initial episode of polio, are commonly referred to as the "Late Effects of Polio."
