Extractions: (*PDF version) for printing. What is cholera? Cholera is an acute, diarrheal illness caused by infection of the intestine with the bacteria Vibrio cholerae . The infection is often mild or without symptoms, but sometimes it can be severe. Who gets cholera? Although cholera is extremely rare in the United States, anyone can get cholera if they drink water or eat food contaminated with the cholera bacterium. In an outbreak situation, the source of 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. 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. Since 1991, epidemic cholera has been a problem in South America. A few persons in the United States have contracted cholera after eating raw or undercooked shellfish from the Gulf of Mexico.

The reported overall case-fatality rate (CFR) has dropped to 1.48% with regards to the 3.6% reported in 2000. This absolute decline in CFR reflects contrasting realities, as CFR for South Africa is very low (0.22%) whereas rates of up to 30% have been observed in other parts of Africa. Continue Background

Extractions: 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. What are cholera symptoms? Approximately 1 in 20 infected persons has severe disease characterized by: 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.

http://www.msd.st-louis.mo.us/PublicComm/Pipeline/2-2000/S3.htm

Extractions: The 1849 St. Louis cholera epidemic claimed 4,557 lives out of a population of 63,000. 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.

Korean energy plan Rice wants "firm" North Korean commitment Rice looks at tsunami recovery Goals uncertain for new Iran leader Residents in impoverished and overcrowded neighborhoods have reported scores of cases of cholera this summer. Iraqi health specialists warn that dirty water may soon lead to an epidemic. The United States has allocated $2.2 billion to water reconstruction and rehabilitation projects in order to provide more Iraqis with potable drinking water, but the corroded infrastructure of treatment plants and unrelenting insurgent attacks and saboteurs have made progress slow and costly. "The biggest challenge is the poor condition of Iraq's water system and the infrastructure supporting it," says a U.S. government spokesman in Baghdad. "The previous regime failed to fund and supervise the operation and management of the water and sanitation plants, which has led them to deteriorate quickly in an alarming state of disrepair and inoperability." It's not an uncommon site in Iraq's large and small cities to see children playing in stagnant puddles of brown, mucky water. According to statistics from USAID, the U.S. development agency that is running many of Iraq's reconstruction projects, more than half of the country's sewage treatment facilities are not working. U.S. officials in Baghdad say that there is progress being made, such as a water project in Baghdad that is delivering 50 million additional gallons per day of potable water to Baghdad residents. But the Iraqi Ministry of Health says that there has been an increase in disease caused by dirty water.

He made his studies in the seminary at Nola, where his uncle was rector. After his ordination, he continued the study of philosophy, with the special view of comparing the various systems. He became a canon of the cathedral of Naples, professor of logic and metaphysics in the seminary substitute-professor of ethics in the university, and eventually scrittore in the National Library. Sanseverino had been educated in the Cartesian system, which at that time prevailed in the ecclesiastical schools of Italy, but his comparative study of the various systems supplied him with a deeper knowledge of the Scholastics, particularly St. Thomas, and of the intimate connection between their doctrine and that of the Fathers. From that time until the end of his life, his only concern was the restoration of Christian philosophy, in which, not only by his writings, but by his lectures and conversation, he was of supreme assistance to Leo XIII cardinal ) Cacace, Galvanese, and Giustiniani.

http://sites.scran.ac.uk/lamb/cholera.htm

Extractions: The following images are examples of documents relating to cholera outbreaks in 19th Century Dundee, Scotland. Cholera was one of many contagious dieases which killed people in the 19th century, and in Dundee, when a number of Cholera epidemics swept through the town during the 1800 s. Cholera bacteria (Vibrio cholerae) is transmitted by water or food which has been contaminated with the faeces of people who have the disease. Symptoms include severe diarrhoea and dehydration, which can lead to shock and death if left untreated. So why did Cholera spread so rapidly in the towns and cities of the 19th Century? Dundee in the 19th century would have been smelly and crowded, with noisy markets and narrow cobbled streets traversed by horses and carts and littered with deposits of horse dung. Street-side butchers and fish vendors like those found at Butchers Row and Fish Street would often toss innards and unwanted flesh into street gutters, and householders threw refuse from tenement windows into the streets below. In the early 1800s, toilets were outdoors and shared by many families living in the same tenement block, and few public washing facilities were available for bathing. Dung heaps were often situated too close to public wells and triggered complaints from citizens about their drinking water being contaminated with faeces.

http://www.rootsweb.com/~engcam/cholera.htm

Extractions: Overview Cholera, the highly infectious and often fatal intestinal disease, and endemic in India, appeared during the 19th century; the first outbreak occurred October 1831-33. It was introduced into the northeast ports from Russia; first appearing in the houses on the quay in Sunderland. The disease spread rapidly killing twenty-two thousand people before the beginning of June 1832 and by the end of that year cholera had spread to most parts of England. The most frightening aspect was the speed at which its victims perished. An attack of violent diahorrea and vomiting followed by agonising cramps in the limbs an abdomen, thirst and fever. After three to twelve hours, the symptoms advanced with rapidity, the skin became dry and a dusky blue or purple in colour, the eyes sank in their sockets, the features were pinched, the pulse at the wrist imperceptible, the voice reduced to a hoarse whisper. Death often took place within a day sometimes a few hours. Another outbreak occurred in 1848-49 in which at least 50,000 died in England and Wales and probably actually numbering 70,000. In 1854 there were 10,675 deaths and in 1866 more than 3,000 died within three weeks. On each of these occasions the disease spread with alarming rapidity, largely because of the lack of sanitation in the new industrial towns. The outbreaks provided a spur to public health legislation, which in turn led to the eventual eradication of the disease.

Time Summary As a young woman, Fermina Daza kept a lengthy and passionate correspondence with Florentino Ariza, who was socially her inferior, but was desperately in love with her. They became engaged through their letters, exchanged through hiding places and telegrams in code. But one day, when Fermina Daza comes close to Florentino Ariza in the market, she feels suddenly ill and tells him it was all a mistake. Instead, she marries Dr. Juvenal Urbino, a European-educated perfectionist, who falls in love with her on a medical visit. Their tumultuous but affectionate marriage lasts over fifty years, through a civil war, cholera outbreaks and the Doctor's brief affair with a patient. Juvenal Urbino distinguishes himself by instituting policies to combat cholera. He dies, falling from a tree as he attempts to catch his pet parrot. Florentino Ariza comes to the wake. He is now about seventy and controls a wealthy shipping operation. After the other guests leave, he approaches Fermina Daza, saying, "I have waited for this opportunity for more than half a century, to repeat to you once again my vow of eternal fidelity and ever-lasting love."

Extractions: Topics A-Z Reference Center Search AIDS-HIV ... Tuberculosis Disease Fact Sheet Series: Printable Version What is cholera? Cholera is a bacterial disease that affects the intestinal tract. The bacterium is called Vibrio cholera. Although cholera is a very rare disease today, six worldwide outbreaks were documented between 1817 and 1911 that resulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths. Currently, only a few cases are reported in the United States each year. Who gets cholera? While cholera is a rare disease, 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 quite small. How is the bacteria spread? The cholera bacteria is passed in the stools (feces). 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?
Cholera Epidemic Spreads In Nigeria
An epidemic of cholera has claimed over 1000 lives in Nigeria.

Extractions: 11 December 2001 Use this version to print Send this link by email Email the author A cholera epidemic has claimed over 1,000 lives in Nigeria. The disease has spread from Kano to a number of other states. No coordinated response has come from the federal government, and the state governments have been criticised for their slow and ineffective measures against the epidemic. The north of Nigeria suffers epidemics of diseases such as cholera, measles and meningitis almost every year. Only five years ago, a cholera epidemic killed 1,342 people in the country. For years, Kano, an ancient trading city of stone and mud-built houses, has suffered a series of epidemics because of its poor sanitation and polluted drinking water. The only year Kano was free of disease was in 1997, but the year before there was a triple epidemic, with almost 15,000 people suffering from cerebrospinal meningitis. At the peak of that crisis over 240 victims were dying daily. At the same time, another 1,390 patients were treated for cholera and thousands for measles. In Kwara state, the cholera epidemic claimed at least 40 lives in five days, and another 22 people are still lying critically ill in hospital. In Moro local government area of the state, seven pupils of primary and post primary schools are among the victims. All primary and secondary schools in the area have been closed indefinitely to avoid further spread of the disease.
