Shownotes Transcript

Complications from poliovirus were a thing of the past until a polio-like illness appeared in 2012. Enterovirus D68 is a likely cause of this new disorder but the impact on children is remarkably similar to polio. Drs Amy Moore, Kim Bjorklund and Wilawan Nopkhun visit the studio as we explore the cause, diagnosis and treatment of acute flaccid myelitis, including a promising procedure called nerve transfer surgery. We hope you can join us!
