Abstract
POLIOMYELITIS following immunizing injections of presumably sterile material has occasionally been reported since 1921, as well as after Jennerian vaccination, but until quite recently the occurrence has been considered so rare as to have little practical significance. The publication in 1950, however, of four papers, three from England (London) and one from Australia, in which about 100 cases of this sort were reported, nearly all in young children, and of an editorial in the Journal of the American Medical Association has suddenly increased interest in the subject and made it a matter of general concern to practicing physicians, particularly pediatricians.
