Abstract
This study describes the isolation of OPV-like strains from patients with a variety of illnesses, raising concerns about their pathogenic potential in an area where tOPV is routinely administered. The detection of genetic variations among OPV-like strains warrants continuing surveillance for these variants in patients with severe illnesses besides neurological complications.
