Background: The Republic of Congo has had no cases of wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV1) since 2000. In October 2010, a neurologist noted an abnormal number of cases of acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) among adults, which were later confirmed to be caused by WPV1.
Methods: Those presenting with AFP underwent clinical history, physical examination, and clinical specimen collection to determine if they had polio.
