Polio Warning Tied to Tonsil Removals At Conference
At a two day Polio Preparedness Conference in Jacksons Mill three physicians from Wheeling Clarksburg and Charleston urged delaying tonsil and adenoids removal during warm months when polio may be likelier. Dr Bond cautioned postponement where polio cases exist and Dr Smith noted strong evidence that tonsillectomies have triggered polio myelitis in children who might not have shown symptoms otherwise. The State Health Department and National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis sponsored the event to boost community readiness for epidemics.
