Cholera is a highly treatable disease, but hydration is crucial and proper hygiene is crucial to prevent dehydration and spread of the infection.

Cholera: A Recent Epidemic

Cholera is a bacterial infection caused by the pathogen Vibrio cholerae, causing thousands of illnesses and deaths annually, mostly in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa.

Cholera - the new strike of an old foe.

Cholera symptoms range from mild to severe diarrhea, vomiting, and dehydration, with fever usually absent.

WHAT IS CHOLERA?

Cholera is a highly infectious disease, with a high mortality rate and a high morbidity rate in the most severe cases.

Cholera: diagnosis and treatment.

Cholera is a highly infectious disease caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae, causing watery diarrhea, vomiting, and rapid loss of fluid and electrolytes, leading to dehydration and death.

Cholera: a modern view on the problem

Oysters from Apalachicola Bay, Florida, may have been contaminated with Vibrio cholerae O75, causing mild gastrointestinal symptoms without requiring rehydration treatment or hospitalization.

Cholera is a severe, bacterial infection that causes severe vomiting, diarrhea, and severe pain in the bowels and stomach.

The Signs and Causes of Cholera

Discharges may be feculent, but soon present the appearance of rice-water or gruel; abdominal pains, nausea, vomiting, and nervous agitation; cramps in legs, arms, loins, and abdominal muscles; small, weak pulse; intense, shivering; and small, weak

Treatment of Asiatic Cholera

The U.S. Navy method of treating cholera has reduced mortality rates to zero in uncomplicated cases, making it suitable for epidemics in populations with no experience in cholera.

A combination of interventional approaches targeting various groups with risk-adapted intensities may be the optimal strategy for cholera control.

Cholera in 1832 was a pandemic that disproportionately affected Irish immigrants, African Americans, and Choctaw, with higher case fatality rates among these populations.

Choleraic collapse is different from exhaustion due to excessive purging, as it involves aeration of the blood and a patient's ability to stand and walk despite cold and pulseless skin.

Notes on the Pathology and Treatment of Cholera

Cholera symptoms are caused by the excretion of toxin from the intestines of cholera patients.

Inapparent infections in cholera are higher than previously thought, and rapidly waning immunity from mild infections contributes to the disease's endemicity.

Inapparent infections and cholera dynamics

Cholera case management with oral and intravenous rehydration therapy has reduced fatalities from over 50% to 1%, but improved water quality, sanitation, and hygiene still cause about 100 000 deaths annually.

Cholera

Cholera is a public health problem in impoverished locations worldwide, with overcrowding, poverty, and insufficient water and sanitation facilities increasing the risk for outbreaks.

Epidemiology of cholera.

Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RDTs) with high selectivity and specificity could help discover the true global presence of Vibrio cholerae and its role in all cause diarrhoeal disease in underdeveloped countries and travellers.

Cholera: under diagnosis and differentiation from other diarrhoeal diseases

The median incubation period of cholera is 1.4 days, with 5% developing symptoms within 0.5 days and 95% by 4.4 days after infection.

The incubation period of cholera: a systematic review.

Cholera, caused by Vibrio cholerae, persists in developing countries due to inadequate access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene, with a goal of eliminating it by 2030 in high-risk areas.

Diagnosis, Management, and Future Control of Cholera

The current cholera pandemic, caused by El Tor biotype, has been ongoing since 1961, with the current pandemic being the seventh and longest in human history.

Epidemiology and molecular epidemiology of cholera

These studies suggest that the symptoms of cholera include severe diarrhea, vomiting, dehydration, abdominal pain, and muscle cramps.
