| Popis: | THE CLINICAL signs and symptoms of acute anterior poliomyelitis have been well documented in the literature by eminent and capable neurologists. The studies leading to such reports were conducted for the most part prior to 1918. As the consequence of a focusing of interest on the residual effects of the disease, its study and treatment became concentrated among pediatricians and orthopedic surgeons. In recent years, as the result of exclusion of neurologists from active participation in continued study of the disease, we believe that a number of misconceptions concerning the symptomatology, pathology and pathophysiology have developed. This has, in turn, led to research which we believe is unrelated to the disease. Interest in such studies has been awakened by the conception that "paralysis is unfortunately a feature of this disease, but paralysis proves after all to be a minor consideration in most cases of infantile paralysis.
