dc.description.abstractA community house to house survey to estimate the prevalence of paralytic poliomyelitis in children 5-15 years was undertaken from June to August, 1986 in the rural and urban field practice areas. The survey covered 96 and 93% of the houses in the rural and urban areas, respectively. Prevalence of lameness due to poliomyelitis among children aged 5-15 years was 3.5 in the rural and 2.7 in the urban area. Community health examination also confirmed that boys were more vulnerable than girls.en_US
