    • Many individuals infected with poliovirus remain asymptomatic for years post-recovery.

    Observation:

    • Polio survivors are reporting new or worsening symptoms decades after initial infection.
    • Commonly reported post-polio sequelae include fatigue, muscle weakness, joint pain, and cold intolerance.

    Findings:

    • Post-polio sequelae represent a distinct clinical entity affecting polio survivors.
    • Symptoms can significantly impact quality of life and functional independence.

    Implications:

    • Early recognition and diagnosis of post-polio sequelae are crucial for effective management.
