Cholera
What is cholera? Cholera is a bacterial disease that affects the intestinal tract. It is caused by a germ called Vibrio cholerae. Although only a few cases are recognized in the United States each year, epidemic levels of cholera have recently been reported in parts of Central and South America. Who gets cholera? While cholera is a rare disease in the U. S. , those who may be at risk include people traveling to foreign countries where outbreaks are occurring and people who consume raw or undercooked seafood from warm coastal waters subject to sewage contamination. In both instances, the risk is small. How is the germ spread? The cholera germ is passed in the stools. It is spread by eating or drinking food or water contaminated by the fecal waste of an infected person. This occurs more often in underdeveloped countries lacking adequate water supplies and proper sewage disposal. What are the symptoms of cholera? People exposed to cholera may experience mild to severe diarrhea, vomiting and dehydration. Fever is usually absent. How soon do symptoms appear?

First do no harm: making oral rehydration solution (ORS) safer in a cholera epidemic

Daniels N, Simons L, Rodrigues A, Gunnlaugsson G, Forester T, Wells J, Hutwagner L, Tauxe R and Mintz E
Abstract Oral rehydration solution (ORS) is lifesaving therapy for cholera and pediatric diarrhea. During a cholera epidemic in Guinea-Bissau, we evaluated the microbiologic quality of ORS prepared at a hospital and tested a simple intervention using special vessels for disinfecting tap water with bleach and for preparing, storing, and dispensing ORS. Few coliform bacteria and Escherichia coli were recovered from tap water; however, pre-intervention ORS contained numerous bacteria including E. coli and toxigenic Vibrio cholerae O1. In contrast, ORS samples from intervention vessels had few or no coliform bacteria, no

Vibrio cholerae Serogroup O1
1. Name of the Organism:
Vibrio cholerae Serogroup O1 This bacterium is responsible for Asiatic or epidemic cholera. No major outbreaks of this disease have occurred in the United States since 1911. However, sporadic cases occurred between 1973 and 1991, suggesting the possible reintroduction of the organism into the U.S. marine and estuarine environment. The cases between 1973 and 1991 were associated with the consumption of raw shellfish or of shellfish either improperly cooked or re-contaminated after proper cooking. Environmental studies have demonstrated that strains of this organism may be found in the temperate estuarine and marine coastal areas surrounding the United States. In 1991 cholera was reported for the first time in this century in South America, starting in Peru. The outbreaks quickly grew to epidemic proportions and spread to other South American and Central American countries, and into Mexico. 1,099,882 cases and 10,453 deaths were reported in the Western Hemisphere between January 1991 and July 1995. Although the South American strain of V. cholerae O1 has been isolated from Gulf Coast waters, presumably transmitted by ships off-loading contaminated ballast water, no cases of cholera have been attributed to fish or shellfish harvested from U.S. waters. However, over 100 cases of cholera caused by the South American strain have been reported in the United States. These cases were travelers returning from South America, or were associated with illegally smuggled, temperature-abused crustaceans from South America.

Scientists sequence cholera genome
Research could lead to more effective treatments
From staff and wire reports WASHINGTON (CNN) - Researchers have decoded the genetic map of the bacterium that causes cholera, a potentially fatal intestinal illness that sickens hundreds of thousands of people a year, mostly in the developing world. "Determining the genomic sequence of medically important pathogens such as Vibrio cholerae holds enormous promise for helping us fight some of the world's most intractable infectious diseases," said Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which funded the project.

Hawa Bagoh, 6, being treated for respiratory problems in the Medicins Sans Frontieres Hospital in Monrovia. Story Tools SPECIAL REPORT Interactive: The U.S. and Liberia Profile: Charles Taylor Map: West Africa Fact Sheet: Liberia MONROVIA, Liberia (Reuters) A cholera epidemic is raging in Liberia's capital, where hundreds of thousands of displaced people are living in overcrowded camps with little sanitation, a World Health Organisation (WHO) official said. Data collected from aid agencies running hospitals and clinics across Monrovia showed that 1,203 new cases of cholera were registered between August 11-17, up from 727 cases in the previous week. Omar Khatib, the WHO representative in the West African country, told Reuters late on Sunday that the figure compared with an average of 300 to 400 new cases per week usually registered in the coastal city at the peak of the rainy season, when cholera outbreaks are more common. "This is a very big number. It's the result of the big influx of people into the city during the fighting and the fact that these people are living in overcrowded camps with no sanitation,'' Khatib said.

- Epidemics are major health concerns More information on cholera
Cholera is an acute intestinal infection caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. Although members of the species Vibrio, cause a number of important infections, classic among them is cholera, a devastating disease caused by Vibrio cholerae group O1. This particular species has been responsible for seven global pandemics and much suffering over the past two centuries. The infectious dose for cholera is relatively high and most persons infected with V. cholerae do not become ill. However, the bacterium is present in their faeces for 7-14 days. When illness does occur, more than 90% of episodes are of mild or moderate severity. Less than 10% of ill persons develop typical cholera with signs of moderate or severe dehydration. For unexplained reasons, susceptibility to cholera is significantly influenced by ABO blood group status, those with type O blood are at greatest risk, while those with type AB are at least risk.
Cholera is spread by the ingestion of contaminated water and food. Sudden large outbreaks are usually caused by a contaminated water supply. Ingestion of water contaminated with human faeces is the most common route of infection with

What is cholera?
Cholera is an intestinal disease caused by bacteria called Vibrio cholerae . In countries reporting outbreaks of cholera, the bacteria may be in the water supply, uncooked seafood, or other contaminated foods. Cholera is very rare in the United States. What are the symptoms? Usually start 2-3 days after exposure and include:
  • Sudden onset of severe watery diarrhea
  • Occasional vomiting and cramping
  • Dehydration (loss of fluids), if not treated
  • In severe untreated cases, death may occur in a few hours
