Keywords: | Poliovirus;Poliomielitis;Vacunas | Issue Date: | Jun-2003 | Journal: | The Pediatric infectious disease journal | Abstract: | We describe a case of poliomyelitis in a 3-year-old Argentinean boy with X-linked hypogammaglobulinemia. The child had no history of polio vaccination, but a poliovirus isolated from a stool sample had 97.2% genetic similarity to the Sabin 1 vaccine strain. According to the WHO definition, this is the first case reported of a vaccine-derived poliovirus infection recorded in continental Latin America. |
