According to the report, the boy was taken to the hospital after suffering acute paralysis in both lower limbs and being unable to hold up his neck. This was the first occurring reported from Sindh province; the prior three victims were from Balochistan.

Oh really that's a sad one. I think prevention and precautions should be taken to stamp it out of their country

It is eliminated from most countries, and there have not been many cases found in the world in recent years. Maybe the cases where they are found should take care of providing timely doses of polio drops to the kids.

Hoping that case was resolved and didn't become epidemic, It's crucial for a disease like, It's the children the virus attacks. Those children attacked by polio might have become disable forever. It's so sad.

I have seen such case. One of my school mate was diseased by polio. I used to get upset for her because she used to write with great difficulty
