Transcription for  Rare disease directed at children









The next night to a health alert about a rare disease that affects children. Officials report an increase in a polio-like disorder that can lead to partial paralysis. Here is Janai Norman. Reporter: Tonight, an outbreak of a mysterious disease is puzzling health experts and children, like Quinton Hill, 7 years old, partially paralyzed. He could not move his neck and then his left arm. Reporter: Quinton spent two weeks in the hospital undergoing a series of tests before being diagnosed with acute flaccid myelitis or AFM, a rare and serious condition that usually affects children. The Minnesota Department of Health says they see it maybe once a year. But six pediatric cases have been reported in recent weeks. The CDC estimates that less than one in a million people in the US. UU They will get every year, but have seen an increase in cases since 2004. There are a variety of possible causes, but no known cure. It starts like a common cold. But if you suddenly have weakness in your arms or legs, difficulty speaking, facial fall, consult a doctor immediately. Reporter: After a few terrifying weeks, Quinton's father says he's regaining his strength. Quinton is super tough and if someone is going to get it back, we firmly believe it will be him. Reporter: Tom, Quinton's father says he is adapting to not being able to use his left arm, and tonight they are optimistic that he will recover. Tom? Janai, thank you.
