Overview
Risk factors for infection with poliovirus include: not having been vaccinated; traveling to countries where the disease occurs; immunodeficiency; infections; and malnutrition. Once infected with the virus, risks for developing poliomyelitis and severe forms of the disease include: muscle trauma; excessive exercise; pregnancy; B-cell immunodeficiency and tonsillectomy.
Risk Factors
Risk factors for the development of poliomyelitis include:[1][2]
- Not having been vaccinated
- Traveling to countries where polio occurs
- Immunodeficiency
- Injections
- Malnutrition
Factors that increase the risk of developing poliomyelitis, after infection with poliovirus include:[3]
- Muscle trauma (provocation poliomyelitis)
- Excessive exercise (provocation poliomyelitis)
- Injections (provocation poliomyelitis)
- Pregnancy
- B-cell immunodeficiency
- Tonsilectomy
