Poliomyelitis (e duobus verbis Graecis πολιός 'cineraceus' + μυελός 'medulla' et suffixo -itis 'inflammatio'), aliquando tantum polio sive paralysis infantilis sive paralysis infantum seu poliomyelitis anterior acuta infantum est acutus morbus viralis, accurate infectio ab homine ad hominem transmissa, praecipue a faecibus ad os. Hodie non solum poliovirus causa notum est, verum etiam Coxsackie-Virus, ECHO-virus. Homines hoc morbo laborantes saepe facultatem ambulandi amittunt. Vaccinum contra poliovirum primum inventus est ab Iona E. Salk anno 1954.
