Abstract :
Poliomyelitis or infantile paralysis, usually called “polio”, is a transmissible viral infection rst described in 1840 by Jakob Heine. This does not mean that polio did not exist previously;rather, it could not be differentiated as a speci c disease. In fact,pictures exist of patients with cases similar to polio in ancient Egypt.
