摘要：In the past two years there has been a resurgence of polio with 21 previously polio-free countries importing wild poliovirus. Wild poliovirus importations into polio-free areas will continue to occur until endemic transmission is interrupted globally. Australia's acute . accid paralysis (AFP) surveil-lance falls well short of the target of more than 80 per cent of AFP cases having two adequate stool specimens taken at least 24 hours apart within 14 days of onset for poliovirus examination. As most AFP cases are hospitalised, AFP should be immediately notifi able by hospitals to public health units or state or territory public health authorities to ensure appropriate follow up, including stool specimens.
