Five cases of paralytic poliomyelitis were noticed between August and November 1982 in the French Territory of New-Caledonia. An epidemiological study allowed to have a better apprehension on the coming back of poliovirus in the South Pacific where, for the past ten years, except in Papua New Guinea which remained an endemic zone, not a single case of poliomyelitis has been declared to the World Health Organization.
