Diarrhoeal diseases in the WHO region of the Americas
Description
Cholera is an acute intestinal infection caused by ingestion of food or water contaminated with the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. It has a short incubation period, from less than one day to five days, and produces an enterotoxin that causes a copious, painless, watery diarrhoea that can quickly lead to severe dehydration and death if treatment is not promptly given. Vomiting also occurs in most patients.
The effects of cholera epidemic go beyond the health sector to produce serious economic consequences for already impoverished countries. The fishermen of Lima are seriously affected.
