Supports presumptive epidemic diagnosis; leaves open validation against modern molecular methods in low-prevalence settings.
Highlights the challenges and clinical criteria for the differential diagnosis of poliomyelitis.
Clifford G. Grulee (1953) conducted a review in Poliomyelitis. The clinical diagnosis of poliomyelitis can be presumed during epidemics based on spinal fluid findings and typical lower motor neuron paralysis, though definitive diagnosis requires viral demonstration.
