Abstract:
During the period from 1999 to 2000, 12 poliovirus isolates were obtained from acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) cases and 2 from healthy children who have been vaccineated with Sabin's oral polio vaccine. These isolated have been examined by PCR-RFLP. The results showed that the isolates were genetically identical to the regional Sabin's poliovirus strains
