	Non-Polio Acute Flaccid Paralysis (NPAFP) is “clinically indistinguishable from polio but twice as deadly,” according to Keith Van Haren, child neurologist at the Stanford School of Medicine.

In 2012, the British Medical Journal wryly noted that polio eradication in India “has been achieved by renaming the disease.”
