Overview

Sustained AFP surveillance supports polio-free status in Turkey; leaves open NPEV serotype contributions to paralysis pending prospective studies.

Structured PICO

P
Population
5,216 Acute Flaccid Paralysis (AFP) pre-diagnosed cases and 3,208 contacts (total 13,640 samples) in Turkey from 2000 to 2019
O
Outcome
Detection of enteroviruses (Sabin-like polio virus and non-polio enterovirus)

Non-polio enteroviruses are the predominant cause of enterovirus-related Acute Flaccid Paralysis in Turkey, reflecting the success of high polio vaccination rates.
