| Quarantine Is Futile For Control Os Polio i

(By Dr. Thomas M. Rivers, director of the hopital of the Rocke--1 feller institute- for medical research.) ! . Editor’s note: This is the fourth ' oi a series of articles, written for, laymen hy outstanding scientists covering present-day knowledge . about, polio, based upon the last thirteen years of research supI ported by the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis.) • > \ Great faith at one time was placed Upon the effectiveness of quarantine measures in stopping the spread of contagious diseases. However critical analyses of these measures by outstanding authorities have shown them td be, ineffective. As a matter of tact author- : ities feeF dt is doubtful whether quarantine measures eVer have prevented the spread of a disease from one country to another or its spread within a country. Origin Os Word The term quarantine has its origin in the word quarante, which means 40. Many years ago. ships carrying' people having dr suspected of having contagious diseases were held in port without intercourse with the shore for a period of 40 days. At the present time, the term has a broader use, and indicates-any forced stoppage of travel or intercourse on account of contagious or infectious-' disc eases. Not so long ago quarantine measures were the principal means used in attempts to stop the spread of yellow fever, measles, diphtheria, scarlet fever and poliomyelitis. Indeed, in New York City in 1916, patients with poliomyelitis were forcibly removed from their by police and carried to hospitals where they were denied all communication or intercourse with the rest of the population. Public health officers now realize the futility df such measures, and most communities no longer are harassed by useless quarantine measures. • ' measures directed toward the control of poliomyelitis in this country are realistic and humane. They vary from community to community \nd consist, for the most part, in isolating a person known to be affected eitper at, home or in a hospital for periods of time- ranging from eevein to 21 days. The period has \been reduced within the last few years so that 27 states today allow isolation periods of seven days or until the end of the febrile period, whichever is longer. This was recommended by the national conference on recommended practices for the control at poliomyelitis, sponsored by the r ? 1 •„ ’ i !

National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis in June, 1949. Epidemiological Aspect Many investigators familiar with poliomyelitis firmly believe that present measures, too, will be discarded ; as soon as the public is properly educated to the facts about poliomyelitis and its spread. For they are not adequate. v The family is the epidemiological unit in poliomyelitis. When one member of a family comes down with the disease, stools from most of the Other members of the group contain poliomyelitis virus, even tpough these other members show uo evidence of paralysis. Yet per sons carrying the virus .in their stools presumably are capable of spreading the disease. What is done at present is to isolate the sick individual and permit others of the family, even though most o' them are carrying \ the virus, to pursue their daily duties. v It has been suggested that the spread -of poliomyelitis might be stopped by holding all members ot a family in which a case occurs in strict quarantine at home, If this done, however, it would very quickly disrupt the whole community and would work a great hardship on many people. In addition, there are good reasons to believe that an epidemic of poliomyelitis would not be stopped anyway. Indeed, in the end, approximately the same number of people probably wnuld be affected, although under such conditions it might ta)ta longer for the epidemic to end. The reason why strict quarantine of whole families would not bring about the desired control is that Some individuals in the community not included In familieii with known cases of the disease, also uxiuld be excreting, poliomelitls virus and, since they would bo free to movd .afound, they would keep the epidemic going. Also it must be remembered that any measure that stops or significantly decreases the spread of an infections agent,\ without building up immunity in the general population\*mny do nothing more than postpone 1 1 the appearance of an epidemic and set the stage for a devastating outbreak which would find so many ifiore people without resistance when the infectious agent finally was introduced again into community. The spread of yellow fever and smallpox wa ® controlled by quarantine measures. Other means, such as vaccination, have been devised whereby perfect control can be achieved. It is not unreasonable to believe that some measure eventually will be discovered that will be useful and sate in preventing the ravages of poliomyelitis. In the meantime, communities should ant in a sensible manner and not institute harsh and futile quarantine measures when polio ijnyelitis appears in their midst.
