Detailed explanation-1: -FDR was diagnosed with infantile paralysis, better known as polio, in 1921, at the age of 39. Although dealing with this crippling disease was difficult, many believe that his personal struggles helped shape FDR, both as a man and as a president.
Detailed explanation-2: -A new study suggests FDR had Guillain-Barré syndrome, not polio. A new analysis of Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s symptoms suggests he might not have been stricken by polio but by Guillain-Barré syndrome.
Detailed explanation-3: -FDR’s prolonged fever was atypical for both diseases. Finally, permanent paralysis, though commoner in paralytic poliomyelitis, is frequent in Guillain-Barré syndrome. Thus, the clinical findings indicate the most likely diagnosis in FDR’s case remains Guillain-Barré syndrome.
