The lack of clean water and security combined with economic troubles are allowing cholera to spread rapidly, WHO spokesman Ian Simpson said Thursday. "Cholera has a fatality rate of more than 50 percent if it is not treated," he said. "This is probably the most serious health concern in Iraq right now." About 50 samples have been sent to a laboratory in Kuwait for testing. Cholera is an acute diarrheal illness caused by infection of the intestine. In severe cases, it can lead to dehydration and shock, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The illness can easily be prevented and treated but the World Health Organization said Thursday that conditions in Basra make it difficult to do either.

Purchase Cholera Description Cholera is an acute intestinal infection caused by toxigenic Vibrio cholerae O-group 1 or O-group 139. The infection is often mild and self-limited or subclinical. Patients with severe cases respond dramatically to simple fluid- and electrolyte-replacement therapy. Infection is acquired primarily by ingesting contaminated water or food; person-to-person transmission is rare. Occurrence Since 1961, V. cholerae has spread from Indonesia through most of Asia into Eastern Europe and Africa, and from North Africa to the Iberian Peninsula. In 1991, an extensive epidemic began in Peru and spread to neighboring countries in the Western Hemisphere. In 2001, nearly 185,000 cases from 58 countries were reported to the WHO. Risk for Travelers Persons who follow usual tourist itineraries and who observe food safety recommendations while in countries reporting cholera have virtually no risk. Risk increases for those who drink untreated water or eat poorly cooked or raw seafood in endemic areas.

bezahlte Anzeige CHOLERA Prof. Dr. Herwig Kollaritsch Was ist Cholera? Cholera ist eine entzündliche Erkrankung des Darmes. Sie wird durch ein Zellgift (Toxin) des Bakterium Vibrio cholerae ausgelöst und führt zu schweren wässrigen Durchfällen, die eine rasche Behandlung erforderlich machen. Laut Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO) erkrankten 1999 weltweit circa 200.000 Menschen an Cholera, von denen 8.000 verstarben. Wie bekommt man Cholera? Cholera-Bakterien werden durch verunreinigtes Trinkwasser und durch Verzehr von Lebensmitteln übertragen. Häufige Infektionsquellen sind roher oder ungenügend gekochter Fisch, Meeresfrüchte und Gemüse, das während der Lagerung oder Essenzubereitung mit den Bakterien in Kontakt gekommen ist. Eine Übertragung direkt von Mensch zu Mensch ist zwar möglich, jedoch äußerst selten. Das Bakterium gelangt in den Dünndarm und produziert dort einen Giftstoff, der die Darmschleimhaut angreift. Nicht jeder, der mit Cholera-Bakterien in Kontakt kommt, erkrankt auch daran. Viele infizierte Personen haben keine Beschwerden, scheiden aber den Erreger im Stuhl aus. Bei schlechten sanitären Bedingungen kommt es so rasch zu einer Verbreitung der Krankheit. Welche Beschwerden treten auf?

About a dozen cases have so far been reported by doctors in Basra and the World Health Organization (WHO) says it expects many more cases in the general community have gone unreported. "An outbreak of cholera, affecting probably several hundreds of people, is occurring," warned Fadela Chaib of the U.N. agency, which dispatched a team to the city this week. No deaths have been reported so far but health officials said they feared the problem is already reaching epidemic proportions. "If we're seeing 17 confirmed cases, you can expect 10 times more within the larger population," Dr. Denis Coulombier, an epidemiologist with WHO told The Associated Press.

What is cholera? Cholera is an acute, diarrheal illness caused by infection of the intestine with the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. The infection is often mild or without symptoms, but sometimes can be severe. Approximately 1 in 20 infected persons has severe disease characterized by profuse watery diarrhea , vomiting, and leg cramps. In these persons, rapid loss of body fluids leads to dehydration and shock. Without treatment, death can occur within hours. How does a person get cholera? A person may get cholera by drinking water or eating food contaminated with the cholera bacterium. In an epidemic, the source of the contamination is usually the feces (stool) of an infected person. The disease can spread rapidly in areas with inadequate treatment of sewage and drinking water. The cholera bacterium may also live in the environment in brackish rivers and coastal waters. Shellfish eaten raw have been a source of cholera, and a few persons in the United States have contracted cholera after eating raw or undercooked shellfish from the Gulf of Mexico. The disease is not likely to spread directly from one person to another; therefore, casual contact with an infected person is not a risk for becoming ill.

Ressources internet concernant le choléra Qu'est-ce que le Choléra ? Le choléra asiatique est une toxi-infection intestinale grave, hautement contagieuse, causée par une entérotoxine de Vibrio cholerae, qui a colonisé l'intestin grêle. Principaux symptômes : vomissements spontanés, diarrhée brutale abondante et aqueuse entraînant déshydratation extrême, une perte d'électrolytes et une augmentation de l'acidité sanguine. Les selles sont liquides, afécales, incolores et inodores ; elles ont l'aspect "d'eau de riz". Après la mise en place rapide d'une réhydratation qui maintient le malade en vie, la diarrhée va se poursuivre pendant 2 à 4 jours (50 à 100 par jour) puis céder spontanément. Ordinairement, les diarrhées précèdent les vomissements. Les vomissements sont également aqueux. Le traitement bien conduit entraîne guérison dans 99 % des cas. Ce traitement tend actuellement à un accompagnement antibiotique (tétracycline) qui permet l'élimination rapide des vibrions. Dans les cas graves, il y a perte rapide de liquide et d'électrolytes des voies gastrointestinales : cela entraîne un état de choc (collapsus), une acidose métabolique et, en l'absence de traitement, la mort en 24 à 48 H (parfois en 12 H).

Cholera Verbreitungskarte Die Cholera wird durch Bakterien (sog. Vibrio cholerae) verursacht. Diese Bakterien produzieren ein Gift, dass zu einem massiven Flüssigkeits- und Elektrolytverlust mittels starker wässriger, nicht blutiger Durchfälle (sog. Reiswasserstuhl) führt. Ungefähr ein Liter Flüssigkeit kann auf diese Weise pro Stunde verloren gehen und dadurch in kürzester Zeit zu einem lebensbedrohlichen Kreislaufversagen führen. Ein rechtzeitiger, gezielter Flüssigkeits- und Elektrolytersatz ist für eine erfolgreiche Behandlung die wichtigste Maßnahme. Übertragung: Die Choleraerreger werden über Trinkwasser und verunreinigte Lebensmittel, vor allem über Gemüse, Fisch und Meeresfrüchte übertragen. Vor allem unterernährte, vorerkrankte Menschen mit mangelnder medizinischer Betreuung und einem geschwächten körperlichen Abwehrsystem sind von der Cholera betroffen. Das Infektionsrisiko von Reisenden ist sehr gering. Es wird auf 1:500.000 geschätzt. Schutz: Gute Nahrungsmittel- und Trinkwasserhygiene Es steht zwar ein Cholera-Impfstoff zur Verfügung, er wird jedoch aufgrund seiner eingeschränkten Wirksamkeit und seiner schlechten Verträglichkeit im Vergleich zum minimalen Infektionsrisikos bei Reisenden nicht eingesetzt. Nur in Ausnahmefällen, wie z.B. bei Entwicklungshelfern in einem Choleracamp, findet die Impfung Anwendung

Cholera Wann wird geimpft: Die Cholera-Impfung ist insgesamt nur bedingt empfehlenswert, da als primärer Schutz Hygienemaßnahmen im Vordergrund stehen. Empfohlen wird sie 1. Bei besonders hohem Infektionsrisiko z.B. Entwicklungshelfer mit erhöhten Cholerarisiko 2. Vorschrift bei der Einreise (inoffiziell) Um der Einreisebestimmung zu genügen, reicht eine einmalige Injektion. Zur Einreise ist eine Dokumentation in den Internationalen Impfausweis erforderlich. Gültigkeit: 6 Tage – 6 Monate nach der Impfung. Wie groß ist das Cholerarisiko für einen Touristen? Die Zahl der Cholerafälle im internationalen Reiseverkehr wird auf 1 von 500.000 Reisende geschätzt. Impfung: je nach Hersteller: Totimpfstoff (Spritze) oder Lebendimpfstoff (Schluckimpfung) Die Cholera-Schluckimpfung ist in Deutschland nicht zugelassen. Ein Import des Impfstoffs ist über die internationale Apotheke jedoch möglich. Grundimmunisierung: Je nach Hersteller 1 Dosis bzw. 2 Dosen im Abstand von 2 – 6 Wochen
