Research Notes on Poliomyelitis
Polio mainly affects children under five years of age. Polio has probably caused paralysis and death for most of human history. The oldest clearly identifiable reference to paralytic poliomyelitis is an Egyptian stele (stone engraving) more than 3,000 years old. There is no cure for polio, but it is preventable by immunization.
