dc.description.abstractAfter the successful eradication of small pox, the eradication of poliomyelitis was planned. In the poliomyelitis eradication programmer conducted since 1989, routine vaccination, supplemental immunisation activities and acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) surveillance were the main strategies. In 1997, in Mardin provinces six poliomyelitis cases were reported. Therefore it was planned to strengthen the eradication programme in this province and those around it. In 1998 in Mardin and five neighboring provinces, a study was conducted that included monthly visits, educational activities, etc. At the result of this study, 64 AFP cases (22 of them poliomyelitis) were reported. Non-poliomyelitis AFP rate had increased from 0.9 in 1997 to 2.8 in 1998. An adequate two specimen ratio was 72%. We recognised that more poliomyelitis cases were reported in hot seasons when compared with non-poliomyelitis cases reported throughout the year. This difference was statistically significant (P < 0.001). Most AFP cases were aged under 35 months. At the 60th day follow-up visits of the patients, we found 90.9% of the the poliomyelitis cases but only 19.0% of the non-poliomyelitis case had residual paralysis. Presence of prodromal fever was another finding that distinguished poliomyelitis cases from non-poliomyelitis AFP cases. 90.9% of the poliomyelitis cases but only 64.3% of the non-poliomyelitis cases had fever at onset. This finding was also statistically significant (P < 0.05).en_US
