142. Cholera cholera (or Asiatic cholera ) is a severe bacterial infection ofthe gut, caused by Vibrio cholerae. A bloated, crampy feeling http://www.posen-l.com/Cholera.htm

Cholera (or "Asiatic Cholera") is a severe bacterial infection of the gut, caused by Vibrio cholerae. A bloated, crampy feeling in the abdomen quickly gives way to huge quantities of very watery stool. The stool, which has little odor, is often referred to as "rice-water stool" because of its appearance (very watery, light colored and laced with tiny bits of mucus). Usually there is no fever and no blood in the stool, but there may be vomiting. Death is caused by the dehydration (loss of water from the body). As the disease progresses, victims will experience: Intense thirst; extreme weakness; sunken eyes; decreased urination, or concentrated urine; dry, wrinkled skin; quickened heart rate; lowered blood pressure; weakened pulse; sleepiness; unconsciousness; seizures; kidney failure. The symptoms may appear 1 to 7 days after eating food or drinking water contaminated with the bacteria, typically within 2 to 3 days. Contamination is from contact with the feces or vomitus of someone infected with cholera. Cholera was often spread in the home by someone who is infected with the bacteria preparing food for others or sharing a drinking cup. For most of the 1800s, cholera was greatly misunderstood. It was easy to see that those in proximity to infected persons were in danger. Whether it was caused by contact with the person, or with the environment was a matter of unprovable opinion. Many were of the opinion that certain areas had "poisonous vapors" and the cause was generally believed to be related to either poor sanitation, close quarters contaminated with the "bad air" of human civilization or both. It was generally thought to be the scourge of the depraved, poor masses, since it hit first and hardest in the poorest, most crowded places. In Europe and America, many felt that since it originated in non-Christian areas, that cleanliness and Godliness would protect. It wasn’t uncommon for some to blame it on a lack of morality. Originally, it was thought unable to survive the cold of winter.

Global Sites Global Finland Sweden Germany France Japan F-Secure Virus Descriptions : Simbiosis NAME: Simbiosis ALIAS: Cholera, CTX Cholera and CTX were created by a member of 29A virus writers group for the Simbiosis project. This project was created to check how well the simbiosis of a Win32 virus and an Internet worm works and how fast it spreads. The virus-worm file is named SETUP.EXE and it contains an encrypted Cholera worm executable infected with a CTX virus. This file is usually received as an e-mail attachment. The message contains only a 'smile' sign - ':)'. If the SETUP.EXE file is run the system becomes infected with both CTX virus and Cholera worm. Cholera worm being activated displays a message: Cannot open file: it does not appear to be a valid archive. If you downloaded this file, try downloading the file again. The CTX virus is an 'advanced' Win32 virus (as its creator states) it has features not typical for other Win32 viruses - self-integrity check, way of searching for Windows APIs by using CRCs instead of API names, EPO - Entry Point Obscuring (placing a jump to its body somewhere inside an infected file). Being activated the virus looks for Windows PE executables and infects them. The infection is of appending type. The virus body is encrypted. CTX virus doesn't have any payload and it manifests itself by a video effect only.

New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene Bureau of Communicable Disease Cholera What is cholera? Cholera, an acute bacterial disease that affects the intestinal tract, is caused by 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 and Africa. In 2001, one case of cholera was reported in a New York City resident. Who gets cholera? While cholera is rare in the United States, travelers to foreign countries where outbreaks are occurring may be at risk for infection. People who consume raw or undercooked seafood from warm coastal waters subject to sewage contamination may also be at risk. How is cholera spread? Cholera is spread by eating or drinking food or water contaminated by the fecal waste of an infected person. This occurs more often in developing countries with inadequate water supplies and improper sewage disposal. What are the symptoms of cholera? People with cholera may experience mild to severe watery diarrhea, vomiting, and dehydration. Fever is usually absent. Approximately five percent of those who become infected will have severe disease characterized by profuse watery diarrhea, vomiting and leg cramps. Without treatment, the disease can be fatal.

Cholera Epidemics That Devastated Eastern Europe Cholera is an intestinal infection caused by Vibro Cholerae. It can last from less than one to five days and produces an enterotoxin that causes painless, watery diarrhea that can lead to severe dehydration and possibly death if treatment is not given. Vomiting may also occur. Most people infected do not become sick, although the bacterium is present in their feces for 7-14 days. More than 90% of the cases are mild. Less than 10% develop cholera with signs of severe dehydration. There have, however, been pandemics, epidemics over a large area, of cholera in various parts of the world. Cholera is spread by contaminated water and food. Outbreaks are usually caused by a contamination in a water supply that many people use. It is very seldom that cholera is contracted from direct person-to-person contact. It is mainly a disease of young children. People with asymptomatic infections are responsible for carrying the disease from place to place causing the disease to spread. When epidemics occur in an area where there is no treatment available the fatality rate may be up to 50%; however, the treated diseases can make the fatality cases less than 1% according to the World Health Organization. Today cholera is not such a threat in developed countries and many people have never even heard of it. Our water supplies today are very clean and up to standard. People today do not have to drink out of the river or out of wells as in the 1800’s. Some third world countries are faced with the problem of cholera because their people do not have the advances of many of the other countries. After serious disasters such as hurricanes, typhoons, or earthquakes, cholera is often a concern, and cholera has to be contained and treated as soon as possible.

IV drip treatment of cholera victims at a refugee camp in Mozambique. Medecins Sans Frontiers/Doctors Without Borders Project Motivation Cholera is an acute intestinal infection which, if not treated, can quickly lead to severe dehydration and death. Rehydration through the intravenous (IV) drip infusion of saline is the only technique available for the treatment of severe cholera. In a cholera epidemic, where many patients need to be treated as quickly as possible, it is critical that setting up IV equipment and initiating treatment occurs as rapidly as possible. Cholera epidemics in refugee camps or resulting from natural disasters can lead to a situation where the number of patients exceeds the capacity of the trained medical staff on site. In this situation, as shown in the photo above, local people often wind up treating each other. This creates a need for IV drip devices that are intuitive to set up and operate, for people who have little or no medical training and who may even be illiterate.

Timeline The Vault Family Stories Islip officials and townspeople try to stop a quarantine of ship passengers on Fire Island The 1892 Cholera Panic Suffolk County Historical Society The Surf Hotel on Fire Island. By George DeWan Staff Writer IT CAME MIGHTY CLOSE to be being the Battle of Fire Island. Think of it. It is late August, 1892. A raging cholera epidemic in Europe threatens to infect American shores through stricken steerage passengers emigrating from Hamburg, Germany. Incoming ocean liners are quarantined and steerage passengers are offloaded to quarantine hospitals on Hoffman and Swinburne Islands in Lower New York Bay. When all else fails, the dead are transferred to the Swinburne crematory. Long Island Studies Institute at Hofstra University An illustration in an 1892 Harper’s Weekly showed a Fire Island mob opposed to the arrival of former passengers of the Normannia. Most of the more affluent travelers in first and second-class cabins are not infected, but under the quarantine they are not allowed into the country for 20 days. When so-called Asian cholera an acute infectious disease spread by contaminated food and water quickly breaks out among stokers tending the steam boilers, however, panic sets in. Cabin passengers want off the ship. What to do with them during the duration of their quarantine? State health authorities have an idea. Out on the southern coast of Long Island is a sandy, virtually uninhabited barrier beach called Fire Island, where dwell only shorebirds, deer, ticks, occasional daytrippers and the master of the Fire Island Lighthouse. But at Democrat Point, at the western end of the island, there is a rundown old hotel called the Surf, which, in better days, played host to revelers and sun worshippers from far and wide.

POINT OF CONTACT FOR THIS DOCUMENT: Cholera Prevention In January 1991, epidemic cholera appeared in South America and quickly spread to several countries. A few cases have occurred in the United States among persons who traveled to South America or ate contaminated food brought back by travelers. Cholera has been very rare in industrialized nations for the last 100 years; however, the disease is still common today in other parts of the world, including the Indian subcontinent and sub-Saharan Africa. Although cholera can be life-threatening, it is easily prevented and treated. In the United States, because of advanced water and sanitation systems, cholera is not a major threat; however, everyone, especially travelers, should be aware of how the disease is transmitted and what can be done to prevent it.

This is a death rate equivalent to 72 out of every thousand people. Cholera was rampant in many U.S. cities at the time, but the large cities of New York, Chicago, New Orleans and Cincinnati had smaller death rates of 11, 24, 30 and 39 respectively. Victims of the water-borne disease usually died within 24 hours of their diagnosis from severe diarrhea, vomiting and rapid dehydration. In the mid-nineteenth century, before bacteria were known to be the cause, two principal theories of disease transmission were prevalent. The “contagion” theory said illness was aquired through close contacts whereas the “miasmic” theory stated gaseous airborne poisons, vapors and fumes from decomposing organic matter caused illness. Traditional protections were quarantined isolation and general cleanliness and sanitation.

Drug Checker Advertisement Disease Injury Nutrition Poison ... Prevention Cholera Definition: An infection of the small intestine caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae, resulting in profuse watery diarrhea. Alternative Names: V. cholerae; Vibrio Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Cholera is an acute illness characterized by watery diarrhea . The toxin released by the bacteria causes increased secretion of water and chloride ions in the intestine, which can produce massive diarrhea. Death can result from the severe dehydration brought on by the diarrhea. Cholera occurs in epidemics when conditions of poor sanitation, crowding, war, and famine are present. Endemic areas include India, Asia, Africa, the Mediterranean, and more recently, South and Central America, and Mexico. The infection is acquired by ingesting contaminated food or water. A type of Vibrio bacteria also has been associated with shellfish , especially raw oysters. Risk factors include residence or travel in endemic areas and exposure to contaminated or untreated drinking water.
