§ Mr. Peter Freemanasked the Minister of Health whether he will give a list of host factors which he is advised may predispose to poliomyelitis.
§ Mr. TurtonI am advised that there is little by way of direct evidence as to the host-factors predisposing to poliomyelitis but that, if infection with poliomyelitis exists or shortly follows, excessive muscular exertion or such local injury as tonsillectomy or certain injections may slightly increase the risk of paralysis.
