Key result
Poliovirus is shed in stool for up to 25 days following abortive poliomyelitis infection.
Why the study?
Isolation of poliomyelitic virus from human stools fulfilling clinical and pathologic criteria was needed to confirm viral presence in abortive poliomyelitis.

Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
A virus fulfiling the clinical and pathologic criteria for its identification as poliomyelitic virus has been recovered from the stools from a child with abortive poliomyelitis on the second, fourteenth and twenty-fifth days after onset. This was accomplished twice after intracerebral and intraäbdominal monkey inoculation, and once after intraäbdominal inoculation alone.

Trask et al. (1938) studied this question. Poliomyelitic virus was successfully recovered from the stools of a child with abortive poliomyelitis on days 2, 14, and 25 after symptom onset via monkey inoculation.
