In Reply.—In our report of an outbreak of acute Schistosomiasis mansoni, we refrained from suggesting that the syndrome of acute schistosomiasis also occurred with S haematobium because we were not convinced that infection with this species either causes or is simply coincident with the syndrome. Generally, reports of acute schistosomiasis in association with S haematobium infection are rare.1 Typically, they concern persons suffering from a protean illness who also have S haematobium ova in their urine and an eosinophilia. In contrast, intense outbreaks of disease among individuals unaware of this potential problem who have had recent, brief, common-source exposures are reported for both S mansoni and S japonicum.A recent report of two cases of transverse myelitis within an outbreak of acute Schistosomiasis mansoni emphasizes Dr Zilberg's concern over serious manifestations of acute infection.2 However, we have not had a similarly poor experience with stool or urine examination

In 1989, a localized outbreak of 10 cases of poliomyelitis occurred in Saudi Arabia. Wild poliovirus type 1 was isolated from 5 patients. To determine the patterns of poliovirus circulation, partial nucleotide sequences of the poliovirus isolates were compared. These isolates were remarkably diverse. Two isolates were closely related to each other and to viruses isolated during the 1988 epidemic in Oman. Two other isolates were very similar to viruses found in Egypt. The fifth isolate was distantly related to the latter pair. The molecular data suggest that the 10 cases represented three separate outbreaks. The virologic findings underscore the potential for Saudi Arabia, which receives millions of guest workers and their families each year from countries in which polio is endemic, to be exposed to frequent importations of wild polioviruses. To restrict the circulation of imported polioviruses, Saudi Arabia must maintain high population immunity to poliovirus in all geopolitical divisions.
