“…Failure of EMG to confirm such loss in patient 1 may be due to investigation too early in the disease, as earlier reports of acute poliomyelitis found that fibrillation potentials are sparse during early days of weakness and are most abundant after 4–6 weeks . Our findings are similar to those reported in classical poliomyelitis and in polio‐like disease of other causes …”

We report a rare case of a 22-month-old who developed flaccid paralysis of her right arm shortly after she was hospitalized for an asthma exacerbation. There are many etiologies of acute flaccid paralysis; however, because of the uncommon presentation of a focalized finding, establishing the diagnosis of this patient was difficult in the emergency department setting. Associated with asthma exacerbations, Hopkins syndrome is a paralytic illness that resembles poliomyelitis. This case highlights the challenges of evaluating a child with monoparesis and establishing an association with asthma amyotrophy.
