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:[3][2]
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; and transverse myelitis.[4][2][5]
