Abstract: with live attenuated micro-organisms.3 7 8 We believe that only one case of paralytic paralysis associated with oral poliomyelitis vaccine has been reported in a child with HIV infection from Romania. 12 Thus oral poliomyelitis vaccine seems to be safe when given during the first year of life. 1 7 10 13 To our knowledge, our case is the first report of poliomyelitis associated with poliomyelitis vaccination in a child infected with HIV from Africa.In countries where HIV infection is endemic and the risk of infection with wild type poliomyelitis virus is high, the benefits of immunisation outweigh the apparently low risk of paralysis due to vaccination with oral poliomyelitis vaccine.We thank Dr E N Sibanda, Department of Immunology, University of Zimbabwe, Harare, for his help.
