862 six to ten year old children from Stockholm and 602 six to nine year old children from Solna, a suburb of Stockholm, were examined for the presence of neutralizing antibodies against the three types of poliomyelitis virus. About one tenth of the children had antibodies to all three types, while about one third had no demonstrable antibodies at all. The distribution of various antibody patterns differed from estimates of a random distribution in the following respects: The simultaneous presence of antibodies to all three types as well as the absence of any poliomyelitis antibodies at all was found more frequently than expected. In addition, type 1 and type 2 antibodies occurred together more frequently than expected in the Stockholm material. The incidence of poliomyelitis with paralysis following primary infection during the first seven to nine years of life was estimated. It was found to be 5 per 1,000 infections.
