Infantile Paralysis
There has recently occurred several
cases of infantile paralysis in different
sections of North Carolina. Naturally
the people in the sections affected
have become concerned more than
usual about the situation. It may be
that there are. more cases than are
usually reported from this disease,
but it may be said that every summer
there occur some cases about over
the State. In some sections of the
country for the past two or three
years outbreaks of the disease have
been more severe than usual. There
is probably more concern about the
situation in this. State at present than
has been since 1925. ,
It is well that the people of North
Carolina should become -informed
about this disease. Strictly speaking,
it should not be called infantile paral
ysis,;, because it is rot confined en
tirely to infants, and another reason
is tiut il occurs oittii uilli"iil ;m
indications of paralysis. The techni
cal name of the disease is poliomye
litis, but ;:s this is a very long and
hard name to pronounce, infaintile
paralysis, being undcrstoood, still
serves better. Very little is known
about the disease, particularly as to
the infectious agent causing it and
the methods by which it is spread.
The one thing that we do under
stand about the disease is that it
seems to be confined for the most part
to the hot summer months, disap
pearing in the early fall, after the
first few weeks of cold weather.
The intelligent and watchful parent
may best guard against the serious
after-effects of this disease by exer
cising the usual precaution in taking
immediate action whenever a child
in the family . becomes ill. When a
baby or young child gets sick and
the temperature goes up and the par
ents cannot satisfy themselves as to
the cause ' or nature of the trouble,
and if the. child remains ' sick more
than a very few hours, the only ad
visiable course is to send for the
family physician and let him make
a careful examination and the proper
measures for safeguarding the health
of the other members of the family,
as well as caring for the sick child.
The onset of this disease may be
sudden or it may be insidious. The
child may get sick, be apparently bad
off, and in a few hours apparently
get better. The doctors call this a
remission of symptoms.. There may
be an interval of several days follow
ing this first stage, when the child
will get very sick again, and the
next time there can be no mistake.
For the foregoing reasons it is ad
visable for parents to consult the
family doctor right in the beginning
of any illness of children which can
not be accounted for satisfactorily.
There is fever and digestive disturb
ances, such as vomiting with diarr
hoea, sometimes constipation, some
times sore throat, or symptoms re
sembling influenza are present. The
child is generally listless and tired.
With a child old enough, he may
complain of headache. If the thing
goes on long, there is restlessness
and irritability and so on. Other
diseases have these same symptoms,
and it is for the doctor to decide.
The1 purpose of this article is to
advise the parent to take no chances
with a sick child, but let the doctor
decide whether or not it is a con
tagious disease, and if the child shall
apparently have infantile paralysis, it
should be isolated from other children,
and careful technical treatment in
stituted which will prevent as far as
possible the terrible paralysis, with
subsequent deformities, if not actual
death, which so often takes place.
There should be no manipulation of
the limbs whatever except the kind
of manipulation advised by orthopedic.
experts and carried out by trained
nurses.
The time for effective treatment is
right in the beginning of the attack.
and the best method of prevention is
the same which applies to so manv
other contagious diseases, and that is
keeping the very young children away
from crowds or gatherings ot nnv
kind, especially when infectious dis
eases are known to be present in the
community.
