About 15%&ndash;80% of 20 million polio survivors worldwide will experience exacerbation of symptoms which typically appear 15&ndash;30 years after the resolution of initial poliomyelitis. Symptoms include new muscle weakness, fatigue, myalgia, joint pain, dysphagia, and difficulty breathing. Other reported symptoms include cold intolerance, sleep disorder, dysphonia, loss of stamina, musculoskeletal deformities, cardiovascular disorders, psychosocial problems, and restless legs syndrome. These symptoms are attributed to the superimposed neuronal loss of aging with inflammatory mechanisms, but without any convincing evidence of viral reactivation. Risk factors include female gender, respiratory symptoms, normal aging, permanent disability caused by motor neuron damage, muscle overuse and disuse, aging, and immunologic mechanisms. Hypothyroidism-induced myopathy and fibromyalgia are a differential diagnosis for PPS, and exclusion diagnosis is required as confirmatory criteria for PPS. The symptoms of PPS presented determine the course of management.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nKeywords: Fatigue, muscle weakness, myalgia, poliomyelitis, postpolio syndrome<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0039A6; font-weight: bold; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important;\">Conclusions: <\/span>PPS is a sequela of acute poliomyelitis which occurs decades after resolution of the initial paralytic or nonparalytic polio. Fatigue, muscle weakness, myalgia, and joint pain are the major symptoms of PPS. Diagnosis of PPS is made based on the exclusion of other conditions that can cause similar symptoms. The quality of life of patients with PPS is significantly affected by the reoccurrence of the constellations of symptoms they experience. Proper assessment and treatment should be performed to prevent severe impairment of function in patients.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0039A6; font-weight: bold; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important;\">Outcome of Research: <\/span>More research required<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0039A6; font-weight: bold; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important;\">Availability of Paper<\/span><span style=\"color: #0039A6; font-weight: bold; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important;\">:<\/span> The full text of this paper has been generously made available by the publisher.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0039A6; font-weight: bold; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important;\">Comments<\/span> <span style=\"color: black; font-size: 90%; font-style: italic; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important;\">(if any)<\/span><span style=\"color: #0039A6; font-weight: bold; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important;\">:<\/span> <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0039A6; font-weight: bold; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important;\">Link to Paper<\/span> <span style=\"color: black;font-size: 90%; font-style: italic; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important;\">(if available)<\/span><span style=\"color: #0039A6; font-weight: bold; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important;\">:<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6652271\/\" target=\"_blank\">Click here to view full text or to download<\/a><\/p>\n<hr style=\"margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\/>\n<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>There are currently 1 papers in this category.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><\/div>\n<div class=\"wvr-tabs-pane wvr-tabs-hide\"><div class=\"ezcol-divider\"><\/div><span style=\"color: #0039A6; font-weight: bold; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important;\">Category: <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #EC6806; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important;\">Diagnosis and Management, Differential Diagnosis, Gender Differences, Late Effects of Polio<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0039A6; font-weight: bold; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important;\">Title: <\/span>Postpolio Syndrome: A Review of Lived Experiences of Patients<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0039A6; font-weight: bold; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important;\">Author: <\/span><span style=\"color: #EC6806; font-weight: bold; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important;\">Oluwaseyi Jacob Oluwasanmi, Devaunna Andrene Mckenzie, Idowu Oluwasegun Adewole, Christian O Aluka, James Iyasse, Esther Olunu, and Adegbenro Omotuyi Fakoya1<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #0039A6; font-weight: bold; padding-left: 0px !important; padding-right: 0px !important;\">Affiliation: <\/span>Department of Microbiology, All Saints University School of Medicine, Commonwealth of Dominica, Roseau, Dominica<br \/>\r\n1Department of Anatomical Sciences, University of Medicine and Health Sciences, Basseterre, St. Kitts and Nevis<br \/>\r\nAddress for correspondence: Dr. Adegbenro Omotuyi Fakoya, University of Medicine and Health Sciences, Basseterre, St. Kitts and Nevis.

About 15%&ndash;80% of 20 million polio survivors worldwide will experience exacerbation of symptoms which typically appear 15&ndash;30 years after the resolution of initial poliomyelitis. Symptoms include new muscle weakness, fatigue, myalgia, joint pain, dysphagia, and difficulty breathing. Other reported symptoms include cold intolerance, sleep disorder, dysphonia, loss of stamina, musculoskeletal deformities, cardiovascular disorders, psychosocial problems, and restless legs syndrome. These symptoms are attributed to the superimposed neuronal loss of aging with inflammatory mechanisms, but without any convincing evidence of viral reactivation. Risk factors include female gender, respiratory symptoms, normal aging, permanent disability caused by motor neuron damage, muscle overuse and disuse, aging, and immunologic mechanisms. Hypothyroidism-induced myopathy and fibromyalgia are a differential diagnosis for PPS, and exclusion diagnosis is required as confirmatory criteria for PPS.
