Poliomyelitis has been well controlled in Scotland by vaccination. Occasional cases of paralysis still occur in association with enteroviruses, especially coxsackieviruses. Most cases were attributable to coxsackievirus A7, which was identified in 77 cases, 12 of them paralytic (one fatal), from 1956 to 1973 (including outbreaks in 1959 and 1963) but not since then. Serologic findings suggesting poliovirus infection have been obtained in several paralytic illnesses at a late stage, months after acute illnesses in which the possibility of poliomyelitis was not considered by physicians, who no longer expect to encounter cases of poliomyelitis.
通过接种疫苗，脊髓灰质炎在苏格兰已得到很好的控制。与肠道病毒，尤其是柯萨奇病毒相关的麻痹性病例仍偶尔出现。大多数病例归因于A7型柯萨奇病毒，在1956年至1973年期间（包括1959年和1963年的疫情），共发现77例该病毒感染病例，其中12例出现麻痹症状（1例死亡），此后再未出现过此类情况。在数例麻痹性疾病的晚期，即在急性疾病发生数月后，获得了提示脊髓灰质炎病毒感染的血清学检查结果，而在这些急性疾病发生时，医生并未考虑到脊髓灰质炎的可能性，因为他们已不再预期会遇到脊髓灰质炎病例。
