A rare polio-like disease has been identified in five kids in California
over a year paralyzing either one or more arms or legs.

"Although poliovirus has been eradicated from most of the globe, other
viruses can also injure the spine, leading to a polio-like syndrome," said
case report author Keith Van Haren, MD, Stanford University, and a member
of the American Academy of Neurology. "In the past decade, newly
identified strains of enterovirus have been linked to polio-like outbreaks
among children in Asia and Australia. These five new cases highlight the
possibility of an emerging infectious polio-like syndrome in California."
.
Out of the five children three were diagnosed with respiratory illness
before the symptoms became visible. They were treated for this condition
but no improvement was noticed.
.
"We know definitively that it isn't polio," Van Haren said to LA Times.
.
Even after six months they continued to have poor limb function. Two out
of five tested positive for enterovirus-68, a rare virus that was earlier
linked with polio like symptoms, while no cause seen in the remaining
three kids, ruling out the virus to be a causative agent.
