Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Investigates Limb Paralysis In Kids; Is Enterovirus To Blame?

Health officials are looking for the cause of a neurologic illness that's affected 10 children in Colorado. The children were hospitalized between August 9 and September 28 with muscle weakness in their limbs, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Something is affecting the children's motor nerves, causing weakness primarily in their shoulders, triceps, biceps and hips, says Dr. Joyce Oleszek, a pediatric rehabilitation specialist at Children's Hospital Colorado. Doctors are also seeing some weakness in the neck and facial muscles in these patients.
