Since the 1988 World Health Assembly resolution to eradicate poliomyelitis by 2000, polio cases reported globally have decreased by approximately 85%. Despite a strong commitment to polio eradication, polio remains endemic in Pakistan. In 1997, Pakistan reported 1147 polio cases, representing widespread poliovirus circulation nationally and constituting 22% of cases reported worldwide. However, surveillance and laboratory data from 1998 indicate that previous widespread poliovirus circulation was geographically localized for the first time. This report describes polio eradication activities in Pakistan, including the impact of routine and supplementary vaccination on polio incidence.
自1988年世界卫生大会通过到2000年根除脊髓灰质炎的决议以来，全球报告的脊髓灰质炎病例已减少了约85%。尽管对根除脊髓灰质炎作出了坚定承诺，但脊髓灰质炎在巴基斯坦仍然流行。1997年，巴基斯坦报告了1147例脊髓灰质炎病例，表明脊髓灰质炎病毒在全国广泛传播，占全球报告病例的22%。然而，1998年的监测和实验室数据表明，以前广泛传播的脊髓灰质炎病毒首次在地理上局限于某些地区。本报告描述了巴基斯坦的脊髓灰质炎根除活动，包括常规和补充疫苗接种对脊髓灰质炎发病率的影响。
