adopt some information and medical explanations of trained health practitioners
on this topic under discussion to give the readers bird eye view of what I mean
by Cholera. One of the most simple authoritative self-explanatory Informative
work on cholera that can be easily comprehend by layman is work of webmed team simply
title Cholera . According to the stated sources, Cholera is an infectious disease
that causes severe watery diarrhea,
which can lead to dehydration
and even death if untreated. It is caused by eating food or drinking water
contaminated with a bacterium called Vibrio cholerae.
Cholera was
prevalent in the U.S. in the 1800s, before modern water and sewage treatment
systems eliminated its spread by contaminated water. Only about 10 cases of
cholera are reported each year in the U.S. and half of these are acquired
abroad. Rarely, contaminated seafood has caused cholera outbreaks in the U.S.
However, cholera outbreaks are still a serious problem in other parts of the
world. The World Health Organization reports that there are 1.3 million to 4
million cases each year.
The
disease is most common in places with poor sanitation, crowding, war, and
famine. Common locations include parts of Africa, south Asia, and Latin
America. If you are traveling to one of those areas, knowing the following
cholera facts can help protect you and your family.
Cholera Causes
Vibrio
cholerae, the bacterium that causes cholera,
is usually found in food or water contaminated by feces from a person with the
infection. Common sources include:
- Municipal water supplies
- Ice made from municipal water
- Foods and drinks sold by street vendors
- Vegetables grown with water containing human wastes
- Raw or undercooked fish and seafood caught in waters polluted with sewage
When
a person consumes the contaminated food or water, the bacteria release a toxin
in the intestines
that produces severe diarrhea.
It
is not likely you will catch cholera just from casual contact with an infected
person.
Cholera Symptoms
Symptoms
of cholera can begin as soon as a few hours or as long as five days after
infection. Often, symptoms are mild. But sometimes they are very serious. About
one in 20 people infected have severe watery diarrhea
accompanied by vomiting,
which can quickly lead to dehydration.
Although many infected people may have minimal or no symptoms, they can still
contribute to spread of the infection.
Signs
and symptoms of dehydration
include:
- Rapid heart rate
- Loss of skin elasticity (the ability to return to original position quickly if pinched)
- Dry mucous membranes, including the inside of the mouth, throat, nose, and eyelids
- Low blood pressure
- Thirst
- Muscle cramps
If
not treated, dehydration can lead to shock and death in a matter of hours.
Cholera Treatment and Prevention
There
is a vaccine for
cholera. Both the CDC and the World Health Organization have specific guidelines
for who should be given this vaccine.
You
can protect yourself and your family by using only water that has been boiled,
water that has been chemically disinfected, or bottled water. Be sure to use
bottled, boiled, or chemically disinfected water for the following purposes
- Drinking
- Preparing food or drinks
- Making ice
- Brushing your teeth
- Washing your face and hands
- Washing dishes and utensils that you use to eat or prepare food
- Washing fruits and vegetables

To
disinfect your own water, boil it for one minute (or 3 minutes at higher
elevations) or filter it and use a commercial chemical disinfectant. You should
also avoid raw foods, including the following:
- Unpeeled fruits and vegetables
- Unpasteurized milk and milk products
- Raw or undercooked meat or shellfish
- Fish caught in tropical reefs, which may be contaminated
If
you develop severe, watery diarrhea and vomiting
-- particularly after eating raw shellfish or traveling to a country where
cholera is epidemic -- seek medical help immediately. Cholera is highly
treatable, but because dehydration can happen quickly, it's important to get
cholera treatment right away.
Hydration is the mainstay
of treatment for cholera. Depending on how severe the diarrhea is, treatment
will consist of oral or intravenous solutions to replace lost fluids. Antibiotics, which kill the
bacteria, are not part of emergency treatment for mild cases. But they can
reduce the duration of diarrhea by half and also reduce the excretion of the
bacteria, thus helping to prevent the spread of the disease.
