(gcide) | Infantile paralysis \In"fan*tile pa*ral"y*sis\ (Med.)
An acute viral disease, affecting almost exclusively infants

anterior horns of the gray substance of the spinal cord. It
is attended with febrile symptoms, motor paralysis, and
muscular atrophy, often producing permanent deformities.
Called also acute anterior poliomyelitis, poliomyelitis

and by the end of the twentieth century had been almost
completely eradicated in developed countries by a widespread
campaign of immunization.
