Transcription for A rare disease similar to polio attacks at least 6 children in Minnesota
The next night here, the mysterious disease will surprise children who grow up in more states tonight. And ABC's Clayton Sandell about what parents should know tonight. Reporter: Tonight, three new suspected cases in Pittsburgh. He could not move his neck and then his left arm. Reporter: Joining a recent increase in Minnesota of acute flaccid myelitis, or afm. Afm goes to the spinal cord, causing paralysis in arms and legs, problems swallowing and breathing, even difficulty speaking. Health officials concerned about the increase in numbers. It goes to 38 cases in 16 states. Only 14 this year in Colorado. Doctors say that the most likely culprits are common enteroviruses, common at this time of year. Many patients recover completely, but not all. Kiko Violante was only three years old when he was diagnosed. Two years later, he still can not walk and it depends on a fan. In the long term, I think this will always be with him one way or another. Reporter: What do you say to concerned parents? What I tell concerned parents is that, fortunately, this is a relatively rare condition. And so, although enteroviruses are very common, acute flaccid myelitis is very rare. The medical advice is not. Reporter: Doctors urge parents to look for symptoms, especially sudden weakness in the extremities, headaches or shortness of breath and get medical help quickly. David? Clayton Sandell tonight. We will stay in this. Clayton, thanks.
