Overview

Abortive poliomyelitis must be differentiated from other diseases that cause: fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache and sore throat, such as: gastroenteritis, or acute respiratory infection.[1][2]

Non-paralytic poliomyelitis must be differentiated from other diseases that cause: fever; headache; myalgia; vomiting; lethargy; and muscle spasms, such as:[2][3]

Paralytic poliomyelitis must be differentiated from other diseases that cause: headache, muscle pain; lethargy, muscle weakness, spams and tremors, such as: Guillain-Barré syndrome; traumatic neuritis of the sciatic nerve; transverse myelitis; and West Nile Virus.[2][4][5][6][7][8]
