WHO | Treatment of cholera - 2 views

  • Cholera is an easily treatable disease. The prompt administration of oral rehydration salts to replace lost fluids nearly always results in cure. In especially severe cases, intravenous administration of fluids may be required to save the patient's life. Left untreated, however, cholera can kill quickly following the onset of symptoms. This can happen at a speed that has incited fear and paralyzed commerce throughout history. Although such reactions are no longer justified, cholera continues to be perceived by many as a deadly and highly contagious threat that can spread through international trade in food.

OUTBREAK OF CHOLERA IN 1854. - THE HISTORY OF THE LONDON HOMOEOPATHIC HOSPITAL - Presen... - 1 views

  • One incident, however, claims attention. In the year 1854 a terrible recrudescence of cholera, due, as was supposed, to the contamination of the water furnished by the notorious Broad Street pump, in the parish of St James's, Westminster, ravaged the Metropolis and particularly the immediate neighbourhood of the Hospital (Golden Square). Twenty-two years before, cholera had sprung suddenly upon a profession utterly unprepared to deal with it and destitute of a principle to guide them in organising the best defence against the new foe. In 1849 it was found that their experience had not taught them much. In 1854 they had still to search among their record of cases for any agreement as to the best way out of their perplexities.

cholera -- Britannica School - 0 views

  • Cholera is spread when people eat food or drink water that has been contaminated with the cholera bacterium. Shellfish and other seafood, especially if eaten raw, are a frequent culprit in this illness. Other foods that commonly transmit cholera are fruits and vegetables that are grown in contaminated soil or washed in contaminated water. Cholera frequently occurs in countries that do not have modern facilities for treating water before people can drink it or wash with it.
