Inflammation and Post-Polio Sequalae
Dr. Bruno’s Post: INFLAMMATION IS NOT A POST-POLIO SEQUELAE

What's more, inflammation does NOT cause PPS.
Here is a summary about studies of markers of inflammation and muscle breakdown in the article: Is there a Blood Test for Post-Polio Muscle Pain?
You can find this article and others, under the topic Muscle Pain in the Index of the Encyclopedia of Polio and PPS.
