Abstract:
:The post-poliomyelitis syndrome (PPS) refers to symptoms of new weakness, fatigue, and pain years after recovery from acute poliomyelitis. Oligoclonal IgG bands have been reported in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from PPS patients, suggesting that the syndrome is immune mediated or caused by persistent viral infection. We studied 15 paired serum and CSF samples and 6 unpaired CSF samples from a total of 21 patients with a prior history of poliomyelitis. Quantitative immune studies failed to show evidence for increased intrathecal IgG production relative to patients with noninflammatory central nervous system (CNS) disease. We found definite oligoclonal IgG bands in the CSF from only 1 patient, who also carried a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis. An isoelectric focusing poliovirus antigen overlay study showed evidence that suggested a CNS-specific antipoliovirus immune response in only 1 patient. Our results fail to support a dysimmune or persistent viral cause for post-poliomyelitis progressive muscular atrophy or PPS.
