Locally clustered cases of AFM have been reported in Philadelphia and, for the first time, in Europe. The first cluster of European cases of the polio-like condition was described in British news reports last month, involving four cases being treated at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Edinburgh, Scotland.
