CDC warns of potential outbreak of rare, life-threatening condition in children

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued a warning to parents and clinicians Tuesday that a rare polio-like condition that affects children could appear this year.

The agency said it is preparing for a possible outbreak of acute flaccid myelitis (AFM), a life-threatening condition that affects the nervous system, specifically the area of the spinal cord called the gray matter, according to the CDC.
