Overview
Risk factors for infection with poliovirus include: not having been vaccinated; traveling to countries where the disease occurs; immunodeficiency; 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]
- Unvaccinated status
- Traveling to endemic countries or regions
- Immunodeficiency[3]
- Malnutrition[4]
Factors that increase the risk of developing poliomyelitis, after infection with poliovirus include:[5]
- Muscle trauma (provocation poliomyelitis)
- Excessive exercise (provocation poliomyelitis)[6]
- Injections (provocation poliomyelitis)[7]
- Pregnancy[8]
- B-cell immunodeficiency
- Tonsilectomy[9]
