[Hona2013]

My 2 years baby girl cant walk after sever fever before one month. now her fever is gone but she still cannt walk. she was 12 months when she was started to walk fro the first time. we took her to the GP he says nothing serious it is common among children. he bed tested her he both legs are able to move and she felt pain when he scratched her. I am so worried about her. she is very sensitive. she used to be lovely and clever. please tell me what is wrong with my babe. thanks

The strange set of symptoms is linked to a normally harmless cold virus called enterovirus D-68 or EV-D68. For some reason, the virus caused an outbreak this past fall, and more than 100 children have since been diagnosed with a side-effect called acute flaccid myelitis or acute flaccid paralysis (AFP for short).

Most doctors hadn't seen anything like it since polio was virtually eradicated. EVD-68 is a distant relative of polio, and of another enterovirus called EV-A71 that has been known to occasionally cause the paralytic syndrome.....If you put it into the search engine you may fine all kinds of info regarding this ..

Hi Hona so sorry I can imagine it is worrying I have heard there is a new sickness and they are not certain what causes it, one symptom is loss of use of limbs but I believe that's temporary many children have it, put it into the search engine under mystery illness .I will find more details  and put it up as other children are getting same.Take your child back to the Doctor and get another to check her out if you have to, Hope she is okay soon, let us know ..
