A00-A09 Intestinal Infectious Fevers

Cholera A00- >

 

Clinical Information

Acute diarrheal disease endemic in India and southeast

Asia whose causative agent is vibrio cholerae; can lead

to severe dehydration in a matter of hours unless quickly

treated.

An acute diarrheal disease endemic in India and southeast

Asia whose causative agent is vibrio cholerae. This condition

can lead to severe dehydration in a matter of hours unless

quickly treated.

Cholera is a bacterial infection that causes diarrhea.

The cholera bacterium is usually found in water or food

contaminated by feces . Cholera is rare in the United States.

You may get it if you travel to parts of the world with

inadequate water treatment and poor sanitation, and lack

of sewage treatment. Outbreaks can also happen after disasters.

The disease is not likely to spread directly from one person to

another. Often the infection is mild or without symptoms, but

sometimes it can be severe. Severe symptoms include profuse

watery diarrhea, vomiting, and leg cramps. In severe cases,

rapid loss of body fluids leads to dehydration and shock.

Without treatment, death can occur within hours. Doctors

diagnose cholera with a stool sample or rectal swab. Treatment

includes replacing fluid and salts and sometimes antibiotics.

Anyone who thinks they may have cholera should seek medical attention

immediately. Dehydration can be rapid so fluid replacement is essential.
