During March 1988, a house-to-house survey was carried out to determine the prevalence of poliomyelitis in Ilorin Local Government Area (LGA) of Kwara State, Nigeria. The survey identified 4576 children aged 5 to 9 years old in the households visited from forty randomly selected clusters in the area. Of the 41 lame children, lameness compatible with paralytic poliomyelitis was found in 31, of these 87% had their condition before the age of 3 years. Thirteen percent needed a stick support for walking while 16% were unable to walk even with support. The prevalence rate of residual polio paralysis was 6.8/1000 children 5-9 years old. When all cases of residual paralysis, deaths and recoveries are taken into account, this translates to an incidence of 8.4/1000 children aged 5-9 years old and an annual incidence of 38.3/100,000 general population.
1988年3月，在尼日利亚夸拉州伊洛林地方政府辖区开展了一项挨家挨户的调查，以确定脊髓灰质炎的流行情况。该调查在该地区随机选取的40个群组的受访家庭中，识别出4576名5至9岁的儿童。在41名跛足儿童中，发现31名符合麻痹性脊髓灰质炎导致的跛足，其中87%在3岁前患病。13%的儿童行走需要拐杖支撑，16%的儿童即使在他人帮助下也无法行走。5至9岁儿童中脊髓灰质炎后遗症的患病率为6.8/1000。若将所有后遗症病例、死亡病例和康复病例都考虑在内，这相当于5至9岁儿童的发病率为8.4/1000，普通人群的年发病率为38.3/100,000。
