| poliomyelitis immune globulin | A sterile solution of globulin's that contains those antibodies normally present in adult human blood; it is a passive immunologic agent that attenuates or prevents poliomyelitis, measles, and infectious hepatitis, and confers temporary but significant protection against paralytic polio. Synonym: poliomyelitis immunoglobulin. (05 Mar 2000) |

| poliomyelitis immunoglobulin | poliomyelitis immune globulin (human) |
| poliomyelitis vaccines | Inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV), an aqueous suspension of inactivated strains of poliomyelitis virus (types 1, 2, and 3) used by injection; has largely been replaced by the oral vaccine. See: Salk vaccine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| poliomyelitis virus | The picornavirus (genus Enterovirus) causing poliomyelitis in humans; the route of infection is the alimentary tract, but the virus may enter the bloodstream and nervous system, sometimes causing paralysis of the limbs and, rarely, encephalitis; many infections are inapparent; serologic types 1, 2, and 3 are recognised, type 1 being responsible for most paralytic poliomyelitis and most epidemics. Synonym: poliovirus hominis, poliovirus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| poliomyelitis, bulbar | A serious form of poliomyelitis in which the medulla oblongata is affected, and in which there may be dysfunction of the swallowing mechanism, and respiratory and circulatory distress. (12 Dec 1998) |
| poliomyeloencephalitis | Acute anterior poliomyelitis with pronounced cerebral signs. Synonym: polioencephalomyelitis, poliomyelencephalitis. Origin: polio-+ G. Myelon, marrow, + enkephalos, brain, + -itis, inflammation (05 Mar 2000) |
| poliomyelopathy | Any disease of the gray matter of the spinal cord. Origin: polio-+ G. Myelon, marrow, + pathos, suffering (05 Mar 2000) |
| poliosis | A patchy absence or lessening of melanin in hair of the scalp, brows, or lashes, due to lack of pigment in the epidermis; it occurs in several hereditary syndromes but may be caused by inflammation, irradiation, or infection such as herpes zoster. Synonym: trichopoliosis. Origin: G., fr. Polios, gray (05 Mar 2000) |
| poliovirus | <virology> A member of the enterovirus group of Picornaviridae that causes poliomyelitis. (18 Nov 1997) |
| poliovirus hominis | The picornavirus (genus Enterovirus) causing poliomyelitis in humans; the route of infection is the alimentary tract, but the virus may enter the bloodstream and nervous system, sometimes causing paralysis of the limbs and, rarely, encephalitis; many infections are inapparent; serologic types 1, 2, and 3 are recognised, type 1 being responsible for most paralytic poliomyelitis and most epidemics. Synonym: poliovirus hominis, poliovirus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| poliovirus vaccine | A suspension of formalin-inactivated poliovirus, types I, II, and III, grown in monkey kidney cell tissue culture, used in the united states only for immunization of immunologically deficient patients and for primary immunization of unimmunised adults at risk. (12 Dec 1998) |
| poliovirus vaccine, oral | A live vaccine containing attenuated poliovirus, types I, II, and III, grown in monkey kidney cell tissue culture, used for routine immunization of children against polio. This vaccine induces long-lasting intestinal and humoral immunity. Killed vaccine induces only humoral immunity. Oral poliovirus vaccine should not be administered to immunocompromised individuals or their household contacts. (12 Dec 1998) |
| poliovirus vaccines | Inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV), an aqueous suspension of inactivated strains of poliomyelitis virus (types 1, 2, and 3) used by injection; has largely been replaced by the oral vaccine. See: Salk vaccine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| polioviruses | Species of enterovirus causing acute infection in humans and leading to nervous system damage in a minority of cases. Humans are the only natural host, but infection can also occur in non-human primates and experimentally in rodents. (12 Dec 1998) |
| polioviruses, human 1-3 | Species of enterovirus which are the causal agents of poliomyelitis in humans. Three serotypes (strains) exist: brunhilde (type 1), lansing (type 2), and leon (type 3). Transmission is by the faecal-oral route, pharyngeal secretions, or mechanical vector (flies). Both inactivated and live attenuated vaccines have proven effective in combatting the infection.
