[The tick-borne encephalitis in Poland].

The paper presents an epidemiological analysis of 816 cases of tick borne encephalitis reported in Poland since 1970. A particular attention was paid towards 240 cases notified in 1993 with 94% confirmed serologically. Infections occurred between May and November, particularly in July, August and October. Encephalitis prevailed in persons 20-49 years old (65%) and most of them occurred in males (59%). In endemic areas infections among towns dwellers prevailed.

Application of monoclonal antibody panels in the virological and epidemiological review of poliomyelitis in Poland, 1981-1990.

Monoclonal antibody panels developed to differentiate vaccine-derived and wild-type strains of polio-viruses were applied to isolates from cases of paralytic poliomyelitis, non-paralytic poliomyelitis, and healthy excreters of poliovirus from Poland. All isolates from poliomyelitis cases were shown to be vaccine-derived, as were most other strains. However, two strains associated with meningitis had wild-type antigenic phenotypes and, as shown by partial genomic sequencing, wild-type genotypes. Correlation of laboratory and epidemiological data suggested that residual cases of paralytic poliomyelitis in Poland between 1981 and 1990 were vaccine-related. Study of the non-paralytic cases, however, helped identify the circulation of endemic wild-type viruses in a well-vaccinated community.
